Presta Air Hose Chuck
Hi All, Is there such a thing as a Presta Air Hose Chuck that will fit
directly to my Air Compressor Hose (Utilizing a quick release fitting), thus avoiding the need to use a Shrader Adapter on the Presta Valve? Thanks, Mark |

"The QBP catalogue has what I can only assume is a real nice one. It has a gauge and a bleeder valve and works with either Schrader or Presta valves. Cost is $75.00. That's wholesale so expect to pay more at your LBS." I have one of those on my own compressor (in my garage), and it is one of the better "unnecessary purchases" I've made lately. It really DOES work equally well on both types of valves. Kinda nice being able to top off the car tires, then turn around and put 120psi in my road bike tires without any futzing around with adaptors.

Dear Mark, Possibly this dingus from Sheldon? http://harriscyclery.net/site/page.c...=49&SKU=PU9997 Yep, that's the one. It was an impulse buy, but I'm happy I got it every time I use it (which is very often).

Presta Air Hose Chuck
Hi All, Thank you for the responses.
Yes, that's a mighty nice tool, but the price ranging from $82.00-$93.00 sort of seems extreme to me. On the one site, I see a replacement head for this "Air Bob" tool, which costs only $12.95, and I'm thinking that this could be directly fitted to the Air hose via either an NPT Quick Connect. or some other inexpensive means? Having the Air Gauge on the Air Bob is sort of redundant, when I have 3 of them sitting here, and as far as a bleed valve, If I over-pressurize a tire, all I have to do, is tap the end of the tire's presta valve a bit to reduce PSI, and start over if need be.

Hi Again, On the Replacement Head for the Air Bob Tool ($12.95), I see
what appears to be just a Barb Fitting on it, so I imagine all one would have to do, would be to aquire a short length (A ft. or two) of suitable Air Hose, A NPT-Barb Fitting for the other end of the Hose, and 2 Hose Clamps to tie it all together? Whatcha think? Mark |

I do understand that when taking readings on a road tire with a seperate
Air Gauge, that maybe just a little bit of air is lost each, and every time you perhaps take a reading on the tire, due to the low volume, and high pressure of the tire, but I'm not that critical, or anal about knowing that my tires have to be exactly 115 PSI (or whatever), + or - 1 PSI. lol I think provided that I know I'm within 4-6 PSI of the desired pressure settings, I'd be happy enough.
