Hi, I'm new to cycling (but old to life ) and am having trouble with the Presta valves on my bike.
OK I know it's a cheap inflater I got (it's getting binned) but even with a car tyre footpump & adapter air leaks all the time & I have to remove the hose while I'm still pupming to keet the tyre inflated.
Once inflated the valve holds the pressure no problems.
What am I doing wrong?
I've just ordered a Lezyne Pressure Drive pump (read about it on this forum) to take with me when I cycle (just in case) but ideally I'd like to be able to use the footpump & guage to set presure at home.
