Here is yet another question regarding tubeless conversions.

I've decided to give Ghetto tubeless a go as it's by far the cheapest. I happen to have an air compressor but where can i get an inflator adapter for Presta valves?

They all seem to be for Schrader valves but i would like to not have to drill out my rims to fit a schrader. Plus, i will using presta valves with removable cores (Schwable BMX tubes).

You can get a little adaptor for Shrader to Presta or get a tyre inflator with Presta connection LBS has one so must be available.

Sorry, not sure i made myself clear there.

I mean, the airline attachments with the built-in pressure guage. Never seen one in any bike shop i've been to round here in Bristol.

mine was 50p from the shop down the road, little brass thing that screws onto the valve

[i]edit[/i] - just use the compressor to get it seated then use a track pump to set the pressure?

otherwise, machine mart have kits: [url= http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/kit-1000-5-piece-air-tool-kit ]like this[/url] which seem to be best value
