Disc wheel adapter, Presta disc wheel pump adapter

Recommendation: Buy the Prestaflator Mini (rather than this head for your blower head)
Think twice before buying this presta head to use on your blower head... I recommend the full Prestacycle Prestaflator mini inflator instead. I bought the "head only" thinking I'd use it with my blower head... but encountered complications: A) I needed a blower head rated for my tire inflation pressure (my current one wasn't... so bought a Milton S-148 blower head rated to 150 psi) B) The "Presta head" mates to a female Shrader thread, not the 1/8 in NPT outlet on the blower head. Adapters may come in some blower accessory sets, but I had to find and buy one (I spent much time looking for an adapter... getting a "Forney 75356 Air Inflator Needle with 1/8-Inch Male NPT Adapter for ~$13.50. C) Alignment issue: When threading this head onto a blower head & adapter, I had to fiddle with various washers to "shim it out" so that when tightened the nozzle pointed in a desirable direction (one might threadlock it into position instead?) D) I still need a new quick-connector for my now dedicated blower head/Prestahead concoction to interchange it w/ other tools. Summary: The Prestaflator Mini would've been a smarter choice!

The negatives are: 1) first negative is it will immediately let air out of your tire before you can get the presta valve spring head completely inserted past the small urethane ring inside that is meant to form the seal to hold air from escaping. 2) the second negative is the urethane seal looks like it may not last too long with use. It's very thin. If that fails the whole part becomes useless. At the least Prestacycle should have included one spare. Instead they will sell you a new one for $5.00 + shipping. So obviously they know this part will fail at some point. 3) third negative is I'm not sure about using aluminum for this tool instead of brass. IMO it feels cheap and not what you would expect from a quality part attached to a compressor that gets tossed around a garage.
I'm not sure why with such a small part that is used in conjunction with much heavier parts weight was so much of a consideration. It looks to me like a choice to save manufacturing cost.
RE: I am adding to my initial review after maybe a dozen uses. As you can see from photos #6-#9 how useless this becomes after maybe a dozen uses. I can no longer use the product at all because it lets out more air than it allows into the valve. This is a design that is doomed to fail. It was a monumental waste of money. No response from the seller on how to fix the problem other than buying more inserts at an exorbitant price. I would never buy this product again.

I set it up for use with my two road bikes like several others did using my inexpensive on hand compressor parts as shown in my pictures. The positive is it does work.Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023

This is a Presta valve adapter. It is not intended for a Shrader valve (found on cars and many bikes). The Presta valve is found on many road bikes and others with thinner and/or high pressure tires. The Schrader valve is the one with a pin in the center that you depress to fill or let air out. The Presta valve you have to unscrew to fill or let air out, but the pump head does not press a pin or anything to fill the tire.
The threads on the adapter are the same as most bike pumps with Schrader valves, so you can put this on a Schrader pump head and use it on a Presta valve. Since it is a "press-fit" device there is probably a limit as to how much air you can get into a Presta valve tire without it popping off. Ok for low pressure bike tires, but not the best solution for high pressure road bike tires.
Best way to use this, is to use it with a compressor or air tank, and put it on a trigger as shown in the picture. The trigger generally comes with a short threaded tube piece that this adapter will screw into. They can be had here or your local hardware store, make sure it has the small threaded tube piece.
https://www.amazon.com/WYNNsky-Fittings-Compressor-Connect-20-Piece/dp/B06W9DSRYP/ref=sr_1_48?dchild=1&keywords=hand+trigger+for+air+compressor&qid=1601560538&sr=8-48
This setup is great for tubeless tires to set the bead. With a compressor you can set pressure limit regulator so you don't burst the tire. With a tank you are limited to how much air & pressure the tank will hold. The triggers also typically have a 90 psi rating, so that is a factor too. I use this exclusively to set beads on my tubeless bike tires.
Final inflation I use a proper Presta valve pump. Too much chance of overinflating a tire with a high psi compressor. I guess the small electric inflators would be ok, but they would not work for setting beads on tubeless tires.
So...that's probably the definition of TMI, but I was bored today and thought there were too many incorrect reviews for this for this otherwise good product...:)

So, there are a lot of "misinformed" reviews here. Part of it is the lack of info on the product page & the PrestaCycle website. But some is just a misunderstanding of what this adapter is for.Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020
