Default Presta to schrader converter

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.

Thanks,

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:

https://www.amazon.com/Schrader-to-P...K1W/ref=sr_1_8

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.

One thing I thought of.

I won't be able to use my tire gauge.

I think this looks like it would be good.

Default Presta to schrader converter

As others noted, getting a pump that's compatible with your tire is probably the best course.

If your pump has an integrated pressure gauge, then it will read the pressure as you are pumping with the Schrader to Presta adapter I suggested.

What it won't do is permit you to use a standalone Presta gauge to check the pressure of an already inflated tire.

Oops, you're right. I copied the link from the wrong browser tab. That's
the one I use - or at least, it's very similar.

This may be closer to what you use.

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/pumps/pl...resta-adaptor/

The problem with this one is it requires a screw on connection for the pump. There isn't enough room for a push on pump connection. One could add a presta extender as a work around.

This is really a Schrader to Woods adapter, despite what's on the website.
