I bought a Blackburn micropump.
But I got the one with the Presta instead of the Schrader valve.
Is there a converter I can get so I can use the pump?
Thanks.
Exchange it for a pump with reversible head. Hand pump with
adapter is even more tedious than mini pumps generally.

Do you know where I can get an adaptor?
I can not find one on Ebay.

Our folding bikes came with Schrader valves. I use this to pump with the
presta mini-pump I carry with that bike. It works well.

That's not going to work. It's an adapter for Presta or Woods valves to a Schrader pump.
Here's a link for the reverse adapter that's needed:

It's got a pin depresser and a check valve to force air into the Schrader tube. The device is long enough to permit a quick connect Presta pump to form an air tight seal. A screw on Presta or Woods pump will also work.
