SKS Rennkompressor

Pumps and Pump Parts

SKS Rennkompressor Floor Pump $54.95 buy button

The SKS Rennkompressor is our favorite floor pump.

  • Wood handle
  • Long hose
  • Rebuildable
  • Extremely heavy (that's a good thing)
  • German made

    Comes with a universal head with replaceable gasket.



    • Silca Heads for Floor Pumps PU5655 $10.95 buy button

    Upgrade any floor pump for reliable, convenient Presta inflation. Silca makes two different heads:
    • Reversible Schrader/ Presta. This isn't particularly good, and we don't carry it.

    • Presta only. This is the best Presta head you can buy. It may be used with any pump, just cut the old head off the hose and plug the Silca head in. You will also need a hose clamp to secure the hose to the head.

    Spare rubber bushing $2.95 buy button

    topeak twinhead

    Topeak TwinHead Upgrade Kit $19.95 buy button

    This replacement hose fits most floor pumps.
    It features the Topeak "TwinHead" that has separate heads for both Schrader and Presta valves.
    We have found the Twinhead to be much more reliable than the Topeak SmartHead.
