Explore Crank Brothers bike pumps for home pressure checks and repairs away from the workshop. Choose from compact hand pumps, including high-pressure and high-volume Klic models, alongside floor pumps for easier inflation at home. Match your pump to your tyres and the way you'll carry it, whether you're commuting, riding the road or heading onto gravel and trails.
Which Crank Brothers Pump Suits Your Bike?
The Klic range includes HP and HV mini pumps for different inflation needs. HP means high pressure and suits tyres run at higher pressures; HV means high volume and moves more air per stroke for wider tyres. Choose for your tyre size and usual pressure rather than your bike's label alone. Gauge-equipped versions can help you check pressure as you pump, but features vary between models.
Compact options such as the Gem and Sterling are worth comparing when pocket or bag space matters. A smaller pump is convenient to carry, while a longer or larger design can reduce the effort of inflating from flat. For regular checks at home, a track pump gives you a stable base and a comfortable position for pumping with both hands.
What to Look for in a Crank Brothers Pump
- Pressure and air volume: Check the model's intended tyre use and pressure range. A high maximum pressure doesn't tell you how quickly it will fill a large mountain bike tyre. If the pump offers different operating modes, check how they work before your first ride.
- Valve connection and gauge: Confirm support for your valve type and whether the pump uses a hose or direct-fit head. Make sure the head has enough exposed valve to grip, and check whether a gauge is included on the version you're choosing.
- Carry size and handling: Compare the pump's dimensions with your pocket or bag space. If using a frame mount, check fit and clearance around bottles and moving parts. A comfortable grip and a connection you can use easily matter during a roadside repair.
A manual pump needs no charging and can be used for more than one repair on a ride. Try it on your own bike before setting off, then carry the appropriate puncture repair kit alongside it. Support the valve while pumping, particularly with a direct-fit head, to avoid putting sideways force on it.
For tubeless tyres, topping up a seated, sealed tyre is different from seating a newly fitted one. A compatible hand pump can handle top-ups, while initial fitting may need a tubeless booster.
