   These little adaptors are useful. I keep one in the seatpack on each of my bikes.

   I ride presta valve tubes, but I always have one of these as a valve cover on one of my tires just in case. I don’t think it adds too much weight, but I like to be prepared. I’m the one with the overstuffed hydration pack saying, “yeah, wait a second, I do have a butterfly band-aid… Oh did you need a zip tie, yea, I got that… Really old power bar/emergency ration, got that too…

   I did this about a week ago before I read this article and I must say it works great. You MUST close the Presta as it says above, I didn’t and experienced a quick flat. Great idea!

   I have the shittiest floor pump ever that won’t put much more than 60 psi , which ain’t enough for 700c x 23 tires. The gas station at the corner puts in about 90-100 psi when I use the presta adaptor.
