bike hut track pump, how to work with presta?

ianbar

i was bought a bike hut track pump for my birthday, i am probably being totally stupid but just can't see how it works with presta valves, it definatley is meant too but I'm just an idiot!

What model?
Does it say dual head or similar?

Apologies if you already are, but you need to unscrew the nut on the valve before air will go in

If its the same as my bikehut pump its a dual head, just push it on either valves

If its a dual head just use the other side. If not, you should be able to unscrew the cap, flip the bit inside around and hey presta(where's my coat ) it should work

Check the pic for the two bits inside to flip around http://shopping.howei.com/image/data/us ... e_pump.jpg

just read on the we bite its meant to have a "clever valve"to automatically adapt to either, so will have another go in the morning

I assume its this one then? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... pping#tab1

I have no idea what this clever valve is sorry haha. Good luck with it though

I have one of those. It's actually rather good. I think mine was £20 at the time.

Just make sure to unscrew the nut on the valve, press the pump head securely onto it and flip the lever on the head through 90 degrees until it lines up with the valve. It's a bit counterintuitive as you'd think you'd want to have it "down", but flip it "up" if you see what I mean.

Then just pump.

Yes, got one too as I had a freebie Halfords voucher to use up. Unscrew the valve retainer on the tyre and simply push the pump head onto the valve and flip the lever to secure.
