I'm using presta valves but I can not attach the pump to the valve. Do I need an extra adaptor?

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush. Turn both the valve and the bush 180 degrees around and re-insert the valve followed by the bush so that the bush has the smaller diameter hole facing outwards to fit onto your smaller Presta valve. Then re-screw on the silver nut, with the dustcap attached, back onto the pump. The pump should now be able to inflate your Presta Valves.If you still are having a problem, have a look on YouTube as there are quite a few video clips on there that show this being done.

Your right ,slip the hose on and use a 3in hose clamp, I have also put a little silicone sealer around the pump fitting and then slip the hose on and clamp it,good luck

I ordered tube with presta valve ASIN: B000ENMLFK Item model number: 123925. You can use these numbers to cross reference. Hope this helps.

It does not, you would need a schrader to presta valve adapter for the pump to clamp onto. It is available for under two dollars.

I made it compatible by using the Hygeia -> Medela adapters provided with my Hygeia pump and then attaching the Medela -> Kiinde Twist adapters. Works like a charm.

Yes. You need an air needle and the pump needs to be configured for shrader valves.

The adapter is under the dust cap. One way for Presta and the other for Schrader. The gear2u website has pdf and YouTube video links that show you how to use the adapter.

It's called a presta valve. I bought a hand pump from walmart that's interchangeable between the two types. It was like 20 bucks. I bet Amazon sells them.

I dunno what kind of valve access the board has, but the pump comes with several different size/type adaptors

I use tubes with a Presta valve, but the valve hole is plenty large and there should be no problem using a tube with a Schrader valve.

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.

You need the F-106 you'll also need the adapter ADP-106. The sizes are on the Fumoto site, http://www.fumotousa.com/.The N is for the nipple valve.

It fits the older type bicycle valves, automotive tire valves etc., but not the newer, smaller type bicycle tires (Presta valves) unless you use the adapter designed to allow the holder to clip on. The adapter is available in many variations such as one with a key chain hook.

I use the longer presta valves. Better for inflating with my particular pump.

This is only set up for Schrader valves. You may be able to find an adapter though.

It locks onto the presta valve fine, you have to screw the adapter onto the presta valve on the tire first, then use the regular shrader pump head to attach to the valve adapter.

Had the same problem when I got it, not knowing how to change it to work on a Presta valve. The pump works for standard inner tubes when it arrives, so you need to change the adapter on the end to work for Presta valves. It is really easy to do. You can remove the cap, and just flip over the little plastic piece that accepts the valve stem. If you can't figure it out, visit the manufacturer's website - they have very clear instructions on how to do this.
