Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Easy fix and it doesn't cost a cent.

Shrader inflators are nmade to do 2 things so air flows. The valve depressor in the chuck opens the valve, and at the same time opens the hoses valve so air can flow.

These chacks are all designed around a valve needle that ends just short of the top of the valve.

I suspect your adaptor it sool long, something easily fixed with a file. When the adaptor is on the tubes valve should be just below the rim.

Now, don't forget to unscrew the little nut so the chuck's valve depressor can push the PV in.
