In the description it says that this pump is for Presta/Schrader valves; does that mean I will not need an adapter for my Presta valve tires?

That is correct, there is an adapter in the head of the pump hose, all you need to do is unscrew the ring and flip over the adapter then replace the ring securely

At first I didn't think Presta worked, because I just reversed the inner rubber adapter. But you also need to reverse the plastic pin piece underneath (that's also hard to get out). Once I reversed both parts, the pump worked fine with my Presta valves. (I had to look this up on the Topeak web site.)

A Schrader valve is the standard valve on inner tubes and car tires. For your bike it is a larger diameter hole on the rim. A presta valve is skinny and has a nut on it to hold the valve tight on the rim. skinny rims like for road bikes and now a lot of mtn bikes use presta valves. I like schraders so I drilled my rim with 1/4 inch bit to accommodate the tubes. Good luck.

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.

Yes will work on both presta and schrader valves. Does not screw on - just a press fit.

I received an adapter with the pump, but didn't have to use it with my Schwinn bike, so can give you no input on the adapter.

I don't know. Mine came with a couple of attachments that I didn't need and don't use, maybe that was for your special valves. I did not use the part and lost it long ago.

My wife and I both have one of these pumps. We use it on road bikes as well as mountain bikes. All our bikes use presta valves, but it should work with schrader too, since it has a reversible head.

No. There are only two types of valves in modern bicycle tubes, Schraeder (like car tires) and Presta. All Schwinn tubes will be one of these two. This pump can be easily used with both types. Just put the valve in the pump hole that fits, lock it on, and pump.

There is no adapter included with this pump that will also work with an air compressor. The pump will itself work with presta and schrader, but the inside housing is integral to the pumps function and is not compatible with a compressor.

No, it is a clip on chuck for schrader valves only. It would work if you put an adaptor on the presta stem.

On the description tab is noted that it has it has a valve chamber of 8,5 mm. (with a comma maybe a typo or they just copied and paste from the Mavic.com site) Usually a Schrader valve is 8 mm and the presta about 6 mm, I bought the same wheelset and I have a tubeless setup in them using a Stan's no tubes "presta" valves with no problems to speak of, So I would say BOTH as well. HTH.

I have a little brass adapter. Screws on Presta then a Schrader gauge fits. Some bicycle pedals have a male screw this adapter fits on so you can use Schrader pumps. Happy Trails

Hi!This pump works with all bicycles. Simple valve pump head fits Presta and Schrader valves.

Great question - here's the answer: The "valves" are included - they are hidden in the pump head assembly. This Topeak (Road Morph) has a head assembly that does NOT automatically adapt to the tire valves (Presta or Schrader) - instead the user has to do some manual adjustment. What manual adjustment you ask? Well, my Topeak shipped with the pump head set for presta valve. I quickly discovered my tire valves were schrader, and not compatible with the pump. After some googling and head-scratching and looking at the diagram on the packaging, I finally figured it out DOH. Gently unscrew and take off the little metal cap on top of the pump head (tip). Then gently pull out the black rubber piece inside. For the Schrader, make sure the larger opening is facing outward, and the small opening is facing the needle inside the pump head. Having thus flipped it, push the black piece back into the head. Finally Screw the cap back on - and presto ;) you have a Schrader compatible pump head.

You need a presta screw on adapter before you can use this or any other standard gauge or compressor inflation device. It's inexpensive, easy to use and reliable.

I believe "presta" is a bicycle tire valve. The way the valve seals internally is different, but it would use the same pressure guage as an automotive valve. Bike tires use a lot higher pressure. Check the spec's on this guage and be sure it measures a high enough psi for your tires.

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.
