How to inflate the Michelin compressor?

To start the mini pump, detach the inflation hose and turn it upwards. Select the desired pressure using the "+" and "-" buttons. The inflator will stop automatically once the pressure has been reached.

• When should I inflate my bike?

Properly inflated tires mean a smooth ride. We recommend checking tire pressure once a month. Properly inflated tires reduce the energy required to move your bike forward, as well as the risk of punctures and tire wear. The recommended pressure in bars is normally indicated on the tire sidewall.

• What's a valve?

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

• Schrader, also known as the car valve, is a little wider than the others, and when you remove the cap, there's a needle in the middle that you press to let the air out if you need to deflate the tires.
  --> Valve most often found on recent city bikes, VAEs and trekking bikes.

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

• Dunlop is an uncommon valve. It's as thin as a Presta, but there's nothing to unscrew before inflation except the cap.
