  1. I got my dual Chuck Pump attachment. Looks good.

    I also got a set of new wheels. deep aero rims. I changed the tire onto the new front wheel and
    grabbed my new chuck. BOOOOOOO!

    It won't work until I get new tubes. The valves don't stick out far enough to allow the new
    chuck to seal.

    Back to screwing on the adaptor.

    If that's the worst thing that happens to me, I'll live to be a hundred.

    By 'screwing on the adapter', I assume that you mean putting a Schrader adapter on the presta
    valve. You can also buy (power-on cycling) valve extenders to add the necessary height to the
    presta valves to stick out of the aero rims. Much cheaper than long stem presta tubes. and reusable
    from tube to tube.

    Well, there *are* valve extenders for Presta valves. You don't *have* to get new tubes... and the
    extenders increase your chances of finding a replacement tube at a bike shop.
