Just acquired a new bike and have come across a small problem. The old bike pump from the previous
bike has a Schrader Valve and the new bike has Presta Valves. I went into my local bike shop for a
new pump or maybe an adapter and was a little taken a back by the number of bike pumps their is now.
The current pump is a hand over from my parents and my dad said he bought it in the 70's. Thanks to
a good sense of maintence and care I have never yet had to buy a new pump but now I do. So a couple
of simple questions. Firstly, any suggestions for a decent presta pump? Secondly, are those little
bottles of compressed co2 any good? Thirdly, must be able to maintain as I would like to pass down
to my kids if I ever have any.
Thanks
