    WIll this compressor chuck fit presta?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Double-Head-...item3cbbe9af0a

    Looks like this will fit an air compressor and is setup for both presta and schraeder. What think the mags? Looking for something that is easy to use when seating tubeless.

    Was going to order but looking for a second opinion and also if I do order will post if this works, because for $7 this sould be nice for those that have their own compressor and need to seat tubeless or just want to inflate with presta valves.

    In the interest of minimizing price have you considered/tried the $1 presta to schrader adapters?

    Otherwise, a really nice option is the $8 (any shop should be able to order it if they don't have them in stock) SKS pump adapter with chain presta to schrader adapter. It comes on a mini-keychain that will fit perfectly around your compressor hose - keeping it always at hand, and you don't have to screw/unscrew with each use.

    Looks like:

    Tried and use the $1 adaptors, Was looking for something a little more easy to switch between the two and my schraeder chuck has the thing in the middle that needs to be pushed in by the core to work and with the adaptors it doesn't work too well.

    Why doesn't the guy just say presta or not? Who knows the fucking diameters? I am assuming presta is worldwide. I could see where schrader may not be but I would think presta is universal for bikes. I'd be wary for that reason alone.
    It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy

    The SKS adaptor wmtb4food posted is different than the $1 adapters, the SKS slides on and is easy to use. My shop uses them on our compressors, which have the same style chuck with the deal in the middle. Cheapest/easiest way to do it I've seen.

    Our shop uses them too, have used it thousands of times with no issues. Bonus, when they're new, they fit really tight around the stem - no leakage. For home use, I can't imagine wearing it out. We've typically replaced them every 3-5 years at the shop - and those are fittings that might be used 10-30+ times a day, depending on the season.
