Don't throw out that old frame pump with the dongle. The threading on schrader valves is impossible to find in plumbing fittings (.271-32, yeah ok), plus you have to depress the valve anyway. The other end is usually I think 10-24 threaded, so you can adapt that to a 1/4" pipe thread and go to town with your pressure regulated shop air setup (or beer CO2 like me) or cut the hose and adapt with a barb fitting. I am not a fan of lever lock or traditional air chuck, when the tube is flat the stem goes right thru the rim! Got presta? Buy the brass thread adapters.
