Just resize it right in the post. No? Saves a lot of work.

Anyway....Phil how do you use your Topeak Pressure-Rite, I have one just like it, but since there is no Schrader valve in it (nor any internal threads to install one) it's useless to me. Do you have some kind of an adapter on yours with a valve in it?

I use a bicycle pump actually. I clamp it on and pump it up. It works for me with an air chuck as well. There is a valve inside the adapter to prevent air from leaking out. The air being pumped in opens it and allows it to be filled.

Thanks Phil. Yes I guess a clamp type chuck would work, I never tried that. None of my air chucks worked since there was no pin in the center of the Topeak to open the valve in them. I had purchased it thinking I'd be able to use it at any gas station to top off the tire but, no. I've since switched to Murph's 90 degree stems.
