Snorting his way across the USA
It irks me to no end that nobody makes a simple inflator nozzle ("air chuck") for Presta valves. There seems to be a demand for them as people are asking about them on the biking forums.
The only two I can find are the "Prestaflator" ($45) which has a squeeze valve and a gauge, and the same thing made by Park Tool that goes for $120 on Amazon.
I have to believe bike shops have inflator fittings just like a standard cheapie Shraeder inflator (I know, I've seen them) but I'm striking out finding them online or in shops.
The adaptor fittings that you screw on Presta heads to use it with a standard nozzle work fine for mountain bike tires, but they leak and it's really difficult for me to put a full charge of air in the tires, which is why I'm trying to locate one.
Anybody know a source for those?
