I was just trying to pump up the rear tire (Dunlop Valve) using the presta pump bit - I was told this would work. I had tried before but it never went above 60 PSI; I thought I'd give it another go before I got an adaptor. IT was going well, I got it to around 100 PSI, then when I took off the pump head and the valve bit shot out such that now I just have the threaded section of the valve attached to the tire.
Has this happened to anyone before, is that the tire done for?
