Silly..but serious question

[Alfie168]

I can't inflate my fenders as I havn't got a suitable adaptor. Anyone know where I can get one..and what sizes there are. Its a very small thread on the valve..don't know the actual size....

Most swindleries will sell you a fender pump with a suitable adapter - not sure if you can get the adpater on its own - no reason why not...

I wonder if this is the same adapter as a football and which I assume a sports shop might sell?

Let us know if it is.

I was told just to offer the fender up to a tyre pump at a garage. Hold the nozzle to the inlet and enough air will get in to pump up the fender.

I can pump my fenders up using my car foot pump pressed against the valve with no adapter. Alternatively, most car tyre pumps (foot or electric) seem to come with a selection of adapters which suit many (but maybe not all) fenders.

Don't pump them too hard as they provide better protection if they are slightly soft as that spreads the load.

I use the same one.

I just push the nozzle of a compressor with a tyre type adaptor over the hole and, as someone else says, enough air will get in.

Anchor Marine makes an adaptor kit. About two and a half squids from Marinestore amongst others:
