How do I attach the pump to my bike?
The pump comes with a mounting bracket and straps that can be used to attach it to your bike frame, often under a water bottle cage.
Is the hose extendable?
Yes, the pump features an extendable hose to provide better leverage and reduce stress on the valve stem.
What is the built-in tool for?

Can I use this pump for tubeless tire setup?

Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating effectively
Ensure the SmartHead is securely threaded onto the valve. Check if the valve core is properly seated or if the pump's internal seals are clean and free of debris. For Presta valves, ensure the valve tip is opened.
Air leaking from the pump head
Verify that the ThreadLock is fully engaged. Inspect the rubber gasket inside the pump head for damage and clean any dirt or debris.
Pump difficult to attach to valve
Ensure you are using the correct side of the SmartHead for your valve type (Presta/Schrader). Clean the valve stem and the pump head connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The pump comes with a mounting bracket and integrated straps for secure attachment to your bike frame, typically under a bottle cage. Simply slide the pump into the bracket. Ensure it's firmly seated to prevent it from falling out during rides.
Compatibility: The SmartHead ThreadLock is designed to work with both Presta (standard on road bikes and some mountain bikes) and Schrader (standard on most mountain bikes and older commuter bikes) valves. The ThreadLock feature ensures a secure, leak-free connection. It also has a built-in tool for two-piece Presta valve cores.
Care: To maintain performance, periodically wipe the pump barrel and handle with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the SmartHead is free from dirt and debris. Store the pump in a dry place, preferably attached to your bike or in a saddlebag. Avoid extreme temperatures which can affect the rubber seals.
