Schrader valve adapter for track pump

Post by Highkicker79 »

I've replaced my old track pump with this one: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/bon ... p-ec055304. However, the head on the new one does not fit between the spokes on my Brompton (gaps are much narrower than bigger wheeled bikes). My old track pump had a very narrow head but most track pumps seem to have this wider head. I'm liking the new track pump so I was wondering if there was some cheap adapter that I could use to fit between the spokes.

Evans recommended this: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/top ... a-ec065789 but this is the wrong valve type and it's quite expensive. However, I can't find a schrader valve equivalent let alone something that's much cheaper.

I was thinking something like this but the track pump doesn't seem to have a threaded head so this wouldn't fit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zefal-Schrader- ... ader+valve

Any suggestions?

Perfect, that second link was exactly what I was after. Was hoping I could get something a little cheaper but oh well, at least it's metal so should last. Thanks for the super quick reply
