COMPONENT GUIDES

1. ELECTRIC E-PUMP 150PSI

First Use:

• Fully charge via USB-C cable (2-3 hours)
• LED indicator shows charge status
• Green = full charge, Red = charging, Flashing red = low battery

Operation:

1. Remove valve cap and attach pump head to Presta valve (unscrew valve core first)
2. Select target PSI using +/- buttons on pump display
3. Press power button to start inflation
4. Pump auto-stops at target pressure
5. Remove pump head and replace valve cap

Pressure Ranges:

• Road: 80-120 PSI
• Gravel: 40-65 PSI
• MTB: 25-40 PSI

Maintenance:

• Recharge after every 3-4 uses or monthly
• Store at 40-60% charge for longevity
• Keep pump head clean and dry

2. TUBELESS REPAIR PLUG TOOL

Trail-Side Tubeless Puncture Repair:

1. Locate puncture - Listen for air hiss or inspect tyre
2. Prepare plug - Thread rubber plug strip through tool eye
3. Insert tool - Push plug tool firmly into puncture hole (tyre can stay on rim)
4. Seat plug - Push until 5-10mm of plug remains outside
5. Remove tool - Twist the tool 180 degrees,Pull tool straight out, leaving plug in hole
6. Trim excess - Cut plug flush with tyre surface
7. Re-inflate - Use E-Pump or mini pump to restore pressure
8. Check seal - Spin wheel and check for leaks

Tips:

• Works on cuts up to 6mm
• Sealant will seal around plug
• Carry 3-5 spare plug strips
• For larger cuts, use a tyre boot or tube

3. CHAIN SPLITTER TOOL

Breaking & Rejoining Chains:

To Remove Chain:

1. Shift to smallest cog (rear) and smallest chainring (front)
2. Position chain in splitter tool groove
3. Align tool pin with chain pin
4. Turn handle clockwise to push pin almost through (leave 1mm attached for non-quick-link chains)
5. Flex chain to separate

To Rejoin (with Quick Link):

1. Thread chain through derailleur and around cassette/chainring
2. Insert quick link through both chain ends
3. Snap quick link plates together
4. Pull chain tight to seat quick link (pedal hard or use quick link pliers)

Quick Link Pliers Use:

• Squeeze handles to compress quick link for easy removal
• Essential for 11/12-speed chains

4. CO2 PUMP & CARTRIDGES

Fast Inflation:

1. Prepare: Unscrew Presta valve core cap, open valve
2. Attach CO2 head to valve (ensure tight seal)
3. Thread cartridge onto pump head
4. Pierce & inflate: Screw cartridge fully in to release CO2
5. Control flow: Partial turns = slower inflation (better control)
6. Detach quickly: CO2 cartridge will freeze - use with caution

Cartridge Guide:

• 16g = Road tyre (700×25c) to ~100 PSI
• 20g = Gravel (700×40c) to ~50 PSI
• 25g = MTB (29×2.3) to ~30 PSI

Warning: CO2 leaks faster than air - top up with regular pump within 24 hours

5. HIGH-PRESSURE TWO-WAY MINI PUMP

Dual-Action Pumping:

• Push stroke = air in
• Pull stroke = air in (2× faster than standard pumps)

Use:

1. Extend pump to full length
2. Attach Presta head (flip head for Schrader if compatible)
3. Lock head onto valve
4. Pump with smooth, full strokes
5. Check pressure periodically (no gauge - use feel/squeeze test)

Efficiency:

• ~150 strokes for road tyre (80 PSI)
• ~80 strokes for MTB tyre (30 PSI)

6. OKO HIGH FIBRE RACE FORMULA SEALANT

Tubeless Setup & Top-Up:

Initial Installation (per tyre):

• Road (700×25-32c): 30-40ml
• Gravel (700×35-50c): 40-60ml
• MTB (27.5/29×2.0-2.5): 60-90ml

Application Methods:

Method A - Through Valve (easiest):

1. Remove valve core with valve cap tool
2. Shake sealant bottle vigorously
3. Attach sealant injector or bottle nozzle to valve
4. Inject measured amount
5. Reinstall valve core
6. Inflate and rotate wheel to distribute

Method B - Tyre Off:

1. Remove one tyre bead from rim
2. Pour sealant into tyre cavity
3. Reseat tyre bead
4. Inflate and rotate

Maintenance:

• Top up every 3-6 months (sealant dries out)
• Shake wheel - if you hear liquid sloshing, sealant is still active
• Replace annually for best performance

7. RATCHET SET (1/4")

Multi-Bit Tool System:

Included bits (typical):

• Hex/Allen keys: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm
• Torx: T10, T25, T30
• Screwdriver: Flat, Phillips

Use:

1. Select appropriate bit for bolt
2. Insert bit into ratchet head (magnetic hold)
3. Set ratchet direction (lever on head)
4. Turn handle - ratchet allows fast tightening without repositioning

Common Trail Repairs:

• Derailleur adjustments (5mm hex)
• Brake caliper bolts (5mm hex)
• Stem/handlebar bolts (4-6mm hex)
• Bottle cage bolts (4mm hex)

8. TYRE LEVERS

Removing & Installing Tyres:

Removal:

1. Deflate tyre completely
2. Push tyre bead into rim center channel (both sides)
3. Insert lever under bead, hook onto spoke
4. Insert second lever 10cm away, slide around rim
5. Remove one side, then the other

Installation:

1. Insert one bead by hand (no levers needed)
2. Start second bead by hand
3. Work around rim - use lever only for final 20cm if tight
4. Check bead is seated evenly before inflating

Tip: Avoid pinching tube (if using) between lever and rim

9. DUMMY HUB

Chain Storage & Transport:

Use:

1. Remove rear wheel for transport/cleaning
2. Insert dummy hub into rear dropouts
3. Thread chain around dummy hub cog
4. Keeps chain tensioned and derailleur protected
5. Prevents chain damage and frame scratches

10. FRONT MTB MUDGUARD

Installation:

1. Position: Align mudguard under down tube, just behind front tyre
2. Attach: Clip or strap guard to fork crown/down tube (tool-free)
3. Adjust angle: Ensure 10-15mm clearance from tyre
4. Secure: Tighten straps - guard should not move under vibration

Benefits:

• Deflects mud, water, and debris from face and drivetrain
• Reduces fork stanchion wear
• Quick-release for dry conditions

TRAIL-SIDE EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

Flat Tyre:

1. Inspect for puncture cause (remove debris)
2. Tubeless: Use plug tool + re-inflate
3. If plug fails: Remove valve core, add more sealant, re-inflate
4. Last resort: Install spare tube (not included - carry separately)

Broken Chain:

1. Use chain splitter to remove damaged link
2. Rejoin with quick link
3. Chain will be 1-2 links shorter (avoid big-big gear combo)

Loose Components:

1. Use ratchet set to tighten
2. Check stem, handlebars, seat post, bottle cages

TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue	Solution
E-Pump won't charge	Try different USB cable/adapter; check port for debris
E-Pump won't reach target PSI	Check valve seal; ensure valve core is tight; battery may be low
Tubeless plug won't seal	Use 2-3 plugs stacked; add more sealant; install tube as backup
CO2 cartridge freezing hands	Wrap cartridge in cloth; use gloves; control release speed
Chain splitter pin stuck	Apply light oil; ensure chain is in correct groove; don't force
Sealant clogging valve	Remove valve core, clean with water; use core removal tool regularly
Tyre won't seat tubeless	Ensure bead is in rim center; use high-volume burst from E-Pump or CO2
