A pedal including a main body having a first side and a second side, the first side of the main body defining a first clipless retaining structure, and the second side of the main body defining a second clipless retaining structure. The first clipless retaining structure is a road bike clipless retaining structure and the second clipless retaining structure is a mountain bike clipless retaining structure. The pedal can include a cleat adapter for installation into the first clipless retaining structure wherein the cleat adapter includes a lock mechanism to fix the cleat adapter in the first clipless retaining structure. The lock mechanism has a locked position to fix the cleat adapter in the first clipless retaining structure, and an unlocked position to allow the cleat adapter to release from the first clipless retaining structure.

A pump head includes a main body defining a chamber and having a top end and a bottom end, a first force transmitting member slidably positioned in the chamber adjacent the top end of the main body, and a second force transmitting member slidably positioned in the chamber adjacent the first force transmitting member and the top end of the main body. A camming device is pivotally mounted at the top end of the main body, the camming device having first, second third and fourth engagement surfaces, the first, second, and third engagement surfaces in selective engagement with the first force transmitting member, and the first, second and fourth engagement surfaces in selective engagement with the second force transmitting member. A resilient collar stationarily positioned in the chamber between the bottom end and the first force-transmitting member, and defining an axial cavity having an inner wall and an inside diameter. The inside diameter is at a maximum dimension when the first engagement surface en cages the first force transmitting member, the inside diameter is at a intermediate dimension when the second engagement surface engages the first force transmitting member, and the inside diameter is at a minimum dimension when the third engagement surface engages the first force transmitting member. The second force transmitting member is displaced downwardly a first distance when the first engagement surface engages the second force transmitting member, and is displaced downwardly a second distance when the second engagement surface engages the second force transmitting member, and is displaced relatively upwardly when the fourth engagement surface engages the second force transmitting member.

A hand operated floor pump has a retractable stand of a tripod type which is movable between a retracted position wherein three support legs are held in closely adjacent relationship with a pump barrel and an expanded position wherein the legs extend substantially radially from the pump barrel to provide stable support for the pump.

Hand operated floor pump with retractable stand

A pump head comprising a main body defining a chamber and having a top end and a bottom end, a force transmitting member slidably positioned in the chamber adjacent to the top end of the main body, a resilient collar positioned in the chamber adjacent to the bottom end of the main body and in engagement with the force transmitting member, and a camming device pivotally mounted at the top end of the main body. The collar defines an axial cavity having an inner wall and an inside diameter. The camming device has first, second and third cam surfaces in selective engagement with the force transmitting member. The second and third cam surfaces act to displace the force-transmitting member into the chamber to different extents to compress the collar. Compression of the collar decreases the inner diameter of the collar, and thus causes the collar to sealingly engage the valve stem positioned in the axial cavity. Compression of the collar at differing levels allows the pump head to work with many valve stems of differing sizes.
