Hi folks,
I've just knackered my track pump. Can't complain as it was a cheap Tesco job and has lasted years. Planned a run tomorrow but need to check my tyre pressures and make sure they are good to go. I've got vouchers to spend from Xmas for the Edinburgh Bike Co-op so intend ordering a decent track pump from there but in the meantime, I wanted to see if I could use my double barrel foot pump?. I need a valve adapter of some sort as it is a standard foot pump ( used to blow car and motorbike tyres up ) but I'm not sure what adapter to go for. Halfrauds have two, one that says its a Presta adapter and one a Schrader adapter. What one do I need to fit the foot pump properly that will enable me to connect to a Presta valve? :-

You would think it would be the Presta adapter, but upon zooming in on the image, the valve end looks a bit strange?. Or is it just me being daft?.
