PROVAC Inflator Connector Schrader Valve Type

PROVAC offers this inflation accessory. Off-road, tyre pressure matters a lot: too low and the rim hits obstacles and the tube gets pinched; too high and the tyre bounces and grips less.

Why have your own inflation kit?

The benefits:

• The right pressure at every ride, measured with the same gauge: reliable settings from one time to the next.
• Depending on the model, a gauge that is accurate at low pressures, the ones used on off-road bikes and ATVs.
• Pump or CO2 to reinflate at the track: CO2 is quicker and more compact, but a cartridge can only be used once.

Why choose PROVAC?

PROVAC is a French company based in Rognac (southern France) specialising in equipment, tools and consumables for tyre professionals. It supplies tyre-fitting workshops with machines as well as consumables: mounting paste, valves, patches, plugs.

When should you replace this part?

Replace a gauge that has taken a knock or no longer returns to zero, an inflator head that leaks on the valve, and CO2 cartridges once they have been used.

Cross-Mania tip: Measure the pressure cold, before riding, and always with the same gauge; after inflating with CO2, refill with air as soon as possible, as CO2 passes through rubber faster.

Compatibility

Choose the same size as the original tyre: it is moulded on the sidewall of your current tyre and given in the bike's manual.
