Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Turboflow Valve Combo with RapidHead is designed for cyclists, particularly those with tubeless tire setups, who need faster and more efficient inflation. Its key benefit is significantly increased airflow, reducing inflation time and effort. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility with Presta valves. This kit combines a high-flow RapidHead pump head with Turboflow valve adaptors to deliver up to three times more airflow than standard Presta valves, ensuring quick tyre seating and hassle-free inflation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product compatible with Schrader valves?
No, the Topeak Turboflow Valve Combo with RapidHead is designed exclusively for Presta valves.
How much faster is the inflation with the Turboflow adaptors?
The Turboflow valve adaptors can increase airflow up to three times compared to standard Presta valve cores, resulting in significantly faster inflation.
Do I need a special pump to use this kit?
No, you can use the Topeak Turboflow adaptors with any pump that has a compatible head for Presta valves. The RapidHead is a separate pump head that attaches to your existing pump hose.
Can I use this with regular tubed tires?
Yes, while optimised for tubeless setups, you can use the Turboflow adaptors with standard inner tubes that have Presta valves for faster inflation.
Will tire sealant clog these adaptors?
The Turboflow adaptors feature a clog-free design specifically to resist sealant blockage, making them ideal for tubeless systems.
What material are the Turboflow adaptors made of?
The Turboflow valve adaptors are made from CNC Aluminium.
Does the kit include the pump itself?
No, the kit includes the RapidHead pump head and the Turboflow valve adaptors. You will need to attach the RapidHead to your existing bicycle pump hose.
Troubleshooting
Air leaks when attaching the pump head
Ensure the RapidHead is fully and securely engaged onto the Presta valve. Check that the valve stem is clean and free from debris.
Reduced airflow after some use
The Turboflow adaptor may be clogged with sealant. Remove the adaptor using the valve core tool and clean it thoroughly. Ensure the pump head and hose are also clear.
Pump head is difficult to attach or detach
Check for any damage to the pump head lever or the Presta valve. Ensure the valve is in the open position (nut unscrewed) before attempting to attach the head. Clean the valve stem and pump head connection.
