How do I inflate my bike's tires with Topeak's Joe Blow pump?

To inflate a bike with Presta or Dunlop valves:

• just unscrew the valve cap (sometimes it gets lost, no big deal)

• for presta valves, to unscrew the valve safety (small moving part at the top of the valve) after removing the cap

• push the valve into the gray side of the mouthpiece as deep as possible. Lock it with the latch and... inflates!

For the Schrader valves, it's the same, but on the black side of the spigot and there's nothing to unscrew (except the cap, of course...).

You have to add air as long as the pressure gauge shows less than the recommended pressure on the tire sidewall.

When to inflate my bike?

Well-inflated tires mean a smooth ride. We recommend that you check your tire pressure once a month. A properly inflated bike reduces the energy needed to move the bike forward and reduces the risk of punctures and tyre wear. The recommended pressure in bars is normally marked on the sidewall of the tire.

What is a valve?

The valve is the tube end that protrudes (towards the inside of the wheel) and to which you connect the hose of the stand bike pump. There are three types of valves: Presta, Schrader and Dunlop. And good news, the Topeak Joe Blow is compatible with all three!
To identify your valve:

• Schraderit's also the valve on cars, it's a little wider than the others, and when you take the cap off, there's a needle in the middle that you press down to let the air out if you need to deflate the tires.
  --> Valve most commonly found on newer city bikes, EABs, trekking bikes

• Presta is a thinner valve on which you have to unscrew a small safety to inflate, after removing the cap. If you press on this safety after inflation, the air escapes. Remember to screw it back on tightly before putting the cap back on.
  --> Valve most often features vintage bikes and road bikes both old and modern

• Dunlop is an uncommon valve. It is thin like a Presta, but there is nothing to unscrew before inflating except the cap.
