They are available but not as readily available as presta to schreader. I carry one with me even though I run presta.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

try your LBS."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Google works fine, you should of got an adapter with the bike, they normally come with them. Any how..

Have you tried turning the valve round on your pump ? :shock:0

I just run Presta tubes in schrader rims - all my bikes use Presta and its not given me any problems on the MTB.
(but yes pretty much every pump does both - so look at the pump first)0 -

^this. In many (even most) modern pumps there's a rubber washer inside the end cap where the valve goes in that can be reversed allowing it to be compatible with both Persta and ShraederEverything in moderation ... except beer

Fainling the pump there is a schrader to presta adaptor here for £2:
