Pump up my tyres
View Full Version : Pump up my tyres
I have just been given a new racing bike that has tubeless tyres and carbon tri-spokes. Only problem is that my track stand pump can not get to the valve in a recess in the carbon spoke. Is there a gadget for this?

I hear people talk about using an adapter that Silca makes; see:

or

(lots of vendors seem to carry it)
Looks like it may be a handful to use though.

valve extensions , presta to shraider adaptor or long stem valves .
