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. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

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. |

I won't be able to use my tire gauge. I think this looks like it would be good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Bike-P...8AAOSwez5ZzUkS Andy |

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. |

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. |
