I'm still a bit confused. My bike has tires with Dunlop valves. Will this adapter allow me to use a Schrader air pump to inflate them?

Did not work for me. I am using a pump that goes directly to Dunlop or Schrader, and Presta on the other side.

it is not a pump. it is just a tire inflater with built in gauge that works with an external air compressor. you need to already have a compressor. with that said, it works great for bike tires, i used mine on Sunday to top off my tires on my beach cruiser.

you need to use a air mattress pump not a bicycle pump. The valves are the same as on most air mattresses.

Yes will work with both, regular bike valves (Schrader) and Presta what most road bike.

Use a standard air compressor with a tire inflator. The same as inflating a bike or car tire. Use a tire pump for that matter.

This is all you need..the end fits on the valve stem of the bike tire and locks on so air will not escape..It is a good pump...

My husband said you need a bike pump with a "schraeder valve" not a "presta valve". We got an awesome bike pump for $20 at Walmart. It has both. I have to air my tires up about one a week. The more air the smoother the ride.

I don't believe any conventional air pressure gauge will work on the presta style valve. Even with the adapter there is no way for the gauge to depress the valve stem to allow pressure to release from the tire. Your best bet is to attach a pump that has a pressure gauge attached.

I was trying to use it for my bike. but I could see no way. Perhaps it needs some other bike tire adapter. Maybe I just don't know enough to have done it right. I sent it back. Maybe it was just me but I never did hear anything like it was pushing air---- switch on or off. I am trying to find what I need so I can air up my bike -my wheelbarrow--my exercise ball etc. I don't want to have to work a puzzle. Maybe it would be fine for you. There are some other reviews that also made it not sound too good--but this was after I had ordered.

a Schrader valve is what you're used to; it's on your cars and bikes, normally. The presta valve would normally need an adapter to add air. You can Google images of presta and schrader. I suspect that schrader is what you would want.

Nope, schraeder, like you car tires. This'll plug right into the inflator & you can keep it there permanantly, a lot easier than the screw-on adapters - SKS Presta Adapter W/ Chain Floor Pump Spare Parts

I have used it with Presta and Shrader. Haven't used it for air mattresses or anything like that, though. Just bike tires.

If the valve stem is a standard size it should work fine. I'm not thrilled with this particular inflator, primarily because the connector to the stem doesn't always stay on during inflation, I have to hold it with my free hand. Since purchasing this I discovered some inflators connect to the valve stem with threads rather than the clamp style, seems to me this would be much better.

It should work and the easiest way to use it on a bicycle tire is to attach it to the valve stem then hook the hose from the compressor to the male threads on the Topeak adapter.

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

The pump works with either Schrader or Presta valves so if your bike has one of those two type valves then it will work. My car has the Schrader and it works fine for that. The only thing to keep in mind is the release works the opposite of every other pump I have used. You clamp onto the valve with the stem in the 90-degree position and then rotate the handle UP to the 180-degree position to lock it onto the valve.
