We (used to) keep our trash can right below where we kept our old one. Went to home depot, and they didnt have much. They employee I talked to laughed at me and told me to go to a bicycle store :nopity:

What we had was standard air sprayer with a 1 inch long hose attached to a 90 degree fitting with an oring that fit around a presta valve.

Anyone?

Not too sure what you meant in the body of your post. but in response to the title of the post, if you want to use your air compressor with a presta valve why not just put a shrader adapter on the presta valve and use a regular old shrader head on the compressor hose? That is the easiest solution i can think of.

United Bike Supply carries presta chucks for air hoses. Or you could get a presta head from Silca and just use a hose clamp...
