Probably because you haven't dropped it onto your garage floor yet. There is a center stepped cylinder with sleeves for presta/schrader that friction fit to each end. I frequently change back and forth so perhaps the handling has loosened things up a bit. Just thinking about it though, there is no reason why these pieces could not be super-glued together. Perhaps they are supposed to be but mine slipped through the cracks during manufacture.

Still not a big hassle to convert. I coax the three pieces out of the head. Put them back together and insert them the opposite way.
