Pumps

- The SKS EMP is a 151-g rechargeable mini-pump priced at €79.99; according to the manufacturer, it pumps up to 8.3 bar and displays the pressure digitally in bar or PSI.  
- It features an auto-stop function, remembers the last pressure setting, has a reversible head for three valve types and charges via USB in approximately 25 minutes.  
- The manufacturer states that it can inflate up to three 700C x 28 tyres per charge; real-world performance, accuracy and heat build-up are yet to be confirmed by tests.

- A helmet, a good pair of cycling shorts, a puncture repair kit, a mini pump and a floor pump, a water bottle and lights are essential for safety and comfort.  
- Correct tyre pressure and staying well-hydrated significantly improve safety, performance and riding comfort.  
- Expensive extras such as clipless pedals, power metres or carbon upgrades can wait; riding experience and time spent on the bike are more important.

PUMPS

- SKS Clic Ace is a range of pumps designed specifically for the Schwalbe Clik Valve, featuring an integrated Clik-Tec head and a secure lock-in mechanism on the valve.  
- Four models cover high-volume, high-pressure and CO₂ use, as well as a battery-powered mini pump with hands-free pumping.  
- The Clik Valve makes pumping significantly easier, but is only worthwhile for bikes that have already been fitted with it, as retrofitting is time-consuming and expensive.

- The pump features a digital pressure display, a USB-C rechargeable battery and is compatible with the Schwalbe Clik Valve (via an adapter), as well as SV, AV and DV valves.  
- It is aimed at riders of various types of bikes; availability from August 2026, recommended retail price €89.90.

- Cordless battery-powered compressor with easy-to-read display, auto-stop function, LED light and adapter set; max. 7 bar, USB-C charging, versatile.  
- Long running time, quiet operation, minimal heat build-up; inflates a 29" MTB tyre (2.25") to 2 bar in 64 seconds, average inflation speed.  
- Relatively large and heavy (468 g, can-sized), so unsuitable for a jersey pocket, but handy for a rucksack, car or workshop; price approx. €35.

Osram Tyreinflate 1600 review: A long-lasting cordless pump for MTB tyres

- AirPort is a new SKS pump head that automatically recognises AV, SV, DV and Schwalbe Clik Valve
- The pump head is manufactured and assembled entirely in Germany, in Sundern
- AirPort is fitted as standard on many SKS floor pumps and is available as a spare part for retrofitting

Pumping has never been easier: the SKS AirPort pump head is suitable for all valve types

- Seven cordless mini-pumps priced between €60 and €179 were tested for pumping performance, battery life, ease of use, heat build-up and features.  
- The Silca Elettrico is the fastest and has the longest battery life; it stays relatively cool, but is significantly larger and heavier than all its competitors.  
- The NG Sports Cawacawa is the cheapest, but delivers the weakest overall performance; the Trek is slow but stays cool and is ergonomic, whilst the Muc-Off is very powerful but not ergonomic.

- On two occasions within a few months, tubeless valves broke during group rides, presumably due to sticks getting caught in the spokes.
- In both cases, the only solution was to: loosen one side of the tyre, wipe out the sealant, insert the inner tube, fit the tyre and pump it up.
- The author is considering carrying a spare tubeless valve for trips, but continues to rely on an emergency inner tube for everyday use and is asking others about their experiences.

- Muc-Off AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max: 356 g, 600 mAh battery, up to 8.3 bar, charges in 1 hour via USB-C, compatible with standard valve types.  
- One charge is enough for 8 road bike tyres, 7 gravel bike tyres or 6 MTB tyres, making it equally suitable for road bikes, gravel bikes and mountain bikes.  
- LED display showing pressure and battery level, memory function, automatic pressure calibration, silicone case, long hose and adaptor; price to be confirmed.

Muc-Off Mini Compressor: Longer battery life, more power

- In June, long days for gravel tours are emphasised and various discounts on bikes and accessories are highlighted.

- Heavily discounted gravel bikes (Rose Backroad AL, Cervélo Áspero) and POC Cytal MIPS helmet for selected sizes on sale.
