Hellos. apologies if this will be considered off topic. just searched for some sort of valve discussion.
Q: I have a sks track pump at home, schraeder (sp?) attachment but with a presta adapter. you know the ones. http://bit.ly/m3h6F
The problem is that when i try to inflate using the adapter, the pokey middle bit that it meant to push down the valve head to allow me to pump air in when i push the thumb lock down, is not long enough to reach through the adapter to push down the valve head.
I have found one presta innertube so far that it works with, and that just has a really short valve. But I don't really want to have to replace all my inners jjst to use my pump.
Advice would be appreciated. Ridicule is thoroughly expected.
