    Depends on the head design - most are reversible anyway, and you can certainly get valve adaptors.

    I've never seen a track pump that doesn't adapt to both. But you can get adapters that fit the valves. Rubbish though.

    What, pump (assumed you had one by your post) or adapter, which are generally little brass things costing about a quid on Ebay. I don't think they are branded.

    Dirt cheap crappy Halfords job is mine and works with both valve types. Pretty much looks like any generic track pump. Works fine. Don't rely on the gauge though, on any pump. Just use your fingers to judge how much pressure the tyres have in them.

    So what i the damn pump you have now.

    Judt about eveyone in the last 10 years will work with either valves.

    Like dragging teeth.
    Ebay - hundreds. Will handle both valves. Beto are cheap and work fine.
