Schrader to presta valve adapter
I know they exist, but does anyone know where I can buy them online? Google is not cooperating.

Amazon or Ebay or any local bike shop can usually help.
This is for Schrader to Presta. Pump is Presta and valve is Schrader:

If you buy a half a dozen, then buy online. For just one or 2, perhaps stop by any bike shop. They should have a bucket of them. I think they are $1 at the local co-op.

Bikes: A few older US made Cannondales, a modern Soma Saga (no longer made, alas!), and one gifted crabon Specialized. Never enough.

I also suggest a bike shop, as the big bag I ordered from Amazon were of questionable use when compared to the 20 year old adapters I picked up from the LBS.The bagged ones just did not work with the Presta valve. I used to put one on each bike just in case I forgot my pump and a filling station was nearby.

I supposed I could buy aluminum and save a couple of grams, but brass has always worked for me in the past.I've always used short stubby ones. There is a tall skinny variety that some people have complained did not allow Schrader pumps to properly compress the valve. Perhaps it makes a difference if one pre-burps the valve before inflating.

I've a mini-presta pump and now an old bike with schrader valves. I don't want to have to buy another pump.

Unscrew the end.
Pop out the rubber gasket, and reverse.
Orient the plastic piece so the pin faces outward.
Reassemble.
I haven't used a Schrader to Presta adapter, but I would think it would be sub-optimal because the Schrader valves expect you to push the pin in with the pump. That doesn't occur with the Presta adapter.

The rear wheel on my V-Rex is drilled for schrader, but I've run presta in it for a decade with no adapter and had no problems.
