Air Compressor tyre inflator that fits Presta Valve

[BroganThompson]

Hey Bikehub,

I recently got an air compressor and want to get an attachment to pump our bike tyres but all our valves are Presta Valves.

All the inflators I can find are for Schrader valves.

Does anyone have a link or know where I could get an inflator for Presta Valves in JHB?

Thank you!

Get an adaptor from Sportsmans Warehouse or any LBS I presume.

I got a spare pump hose and joined it onto my comprssor hose

I bought a digital pressure gauge and inflator for a compressor from Addendorf.  Then cut off the standard schreauder fitting.

 

I used a standard foot pump fitting, and attached that to the Addendorf unit.

 

Now I can inflate both presta and schreuder from this unit.

Or if you're a Temu user you can buy a pack of 5 for about the same price (and then you have spare when you invariably lose one! 😄)

These little guys work like a treat. Have had 2 for the past 15 years and they come in handy when you want to get air into your tyres at a fuel station(garage).

Best investment you can make 🤙

I did exactly the same thing - works proper especially when doing tubeless tyres

Once you invest in a compressor ..... might as well get this foursome ....

 

 

1. Perfect to fit/adjust/remove silicone grips.

 

.2 PERFECT dry the chain and any hard to reach areas....

 

3. Cut the attachment off .... slide over the presta, core removed, for maximum air flow to bead a new tyre.

NOTE - Do turn the pressure tegulator down to prevent a tyre bursting

 

4. Fit a foot pump fitting for both presta and schreuder to a digital gauge for ease of use 👍

You can use (1) to seat a tubeless tyre. Just take the core out and hold the nozzle against the valve stem. When it "pops" put your finger over the stem and quickly fit the core, then pump to required pressure with a proper adaptor.

I'm pretty sure (1) could be used in place of (2) aswell. Or does (2) do something special I'm not aware of

Once you use it you will understand 😉  (I was also sceptical when I first saw it)

 

 

The frame cause a venturi pulling in more air, very handy for drying.

Chris. Have you considered using (2) to seat a tubeless tyre?

Could be useful if you could get all, or most, of the air into the valve stem...

A better photo of "2"

 

 

Dont think this was meant for pressure applications, just high volume air flow
