All my bikes had schrader valves. I have shop air in my garage and life was good. Now I got new bike and it had this presta valves!!! I did my research, I wanted to stay with a way I inflate tires (shop air). Bought adapter for $2.50 that screwes on top of the presta valve.

OK! It didn't work. I have this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/media/c...mage_14013.jpg

And problem is - in order to activate it - round thingy in a middle of schrader presses on a pin in inflator and air can get it. In case of presta adapter nothing preses this pin and I can't air tires.

Now, I decided maybe I should ge bike pump (really don't want to). Seems like very good one: Amazon.com : Serfas TCPG Pump : Floor Bike Pumps : Sports & Outdoors

But in reviews I see bunch of 1-stars complaining about issues with Presta valves.

So, what is the deal? Can I get some reliable piece of hose I can use with my shop air to inflate those wheels? Is there schrader valve adapters that I can permanently screw on top of presta and use them?
