Bontrager Flash Charger Fodpumpe

The Bontrager Flash Charger is an unique pump: this pump combines the convenience of a compressor and the handling of an ordinary floor pump. For those who try to get their tyre 'Tubeless', this pump is a godsend.

Of course you can use a 'normal' bicycle pump, but the biggest difference is in the air reservoir, which you bring up to pressure, before inflating the tyre. After about 45 pump strokes your air chamber is fully up to pressure, and the air flows rapidly into your tyre when you push the lever down. This allows the tyre bead to be pushed into the sides of the rim, which creates an airtight connection. Thus, even a stiff, wide or narrow tyre placing is childsplay.

This fantastic pump / compressor belongs in the equipment of every avid tinkerer.

Can I use the Bontrager Flash Charger as a regular pump?
Yes you can! However, you should be aware that it may take a little longer to inflate your tyre as the air enters the tyre through the extra air chamber.

Can I replace individual parts of the Bontrager Flash Charger if required?
No, unfortunately there are no spare parts available for this pump.

How do I change the valve type of this Flash Charger?
This pumphead has only one opening and it fits both Schrader and Presta. There is no need to do anything as the pump head will automatically select the correct valve.
