At some point, most of us end up with a handful of shock pumps that either came with bikes or forks and shocks when we upgraded. And if we’re multidisciplinary and have a bit of a budget, we might have a road floor pump and a mountain bike floor pump. Which makes things easy, but also cluttered. The new Airace Infinity combines all of those things into one, offering the first floor pump to inflate both Presta and Schrader tire valves and your fork and shock.
That multitasking trick comes by way of high-pressure capability and a three-way chuck.
The tire pump parts gets a Presta head on one side, Schrader on the other. To handle suspension forks and shocks, there’s a short flexible head with a threaded Schrader nozzle on the end.
As long as you don’t need more than 300psi to get the job done, the Infinity can reduce the number of things you need to bring to the trail head…or keep in your garage. There’s always going to be a tradeoff on accuracy at lower pressures, but if you prize simplicity and minimalism over exact PSI for mountain bike and cyclocross tires, then check it out.
Already have a tiny CO2 valve adapter but thinking maybe, just maybe, there was something smaller and lighter out there? Airace has you covered with their new metal adapter that fits both Schrader and Presta and is really nothing more than a winged nozzle.
Last up, new Hard TL metal tire levers give you plenty of strength to pry the tightest, toughest tires off, but integrate plastic sections in so they won’t damage your carbon rims. They also have shaped sections to help with installs, and an integrated CO2 chuck.
