MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My neighbours often knock on my door to ask me to inflate their footballs, I don't have one of those needle valves, so thought I would order one to help them out.
Do they all fit presta pumps?
At this price it doesn't really matter if its the wrong type but would like to get the right one.
Iits the same size as a schreader valve (fat one) so will screw or fit into most pumps. If you have a Blackburn track pump there should be a couple of these adaptors hidden in a little compartment in the handle.
You have linked to a schrader. You can get presta ones but they only really work with screw on pumps not ones with a bit of rubber that get squished as the thread is too short.
Probably easier to buy a pump: [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soccer-Football-Ball-Handy-Inflating-Pump-Including-Needle-Pump-Length-6-/221014419144?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Footballs_MJ&hash=item33757c66c8 ]clicky[/url]
Doh!!! I meant schrader. Thanks all
as seanoc says, some pumps (esp track pumps) will have a needle hidden somewhere on the pump body - often clipped under the footrests
