Author FV Adapter for AirStream Pump – Schrader to Presta Brass Converter

Most floor pumps are set up for car-style Schrader valves, leaving road cyclists with Presta tubes scrambling for workarounds. This small brass adapter from Author closes that gap instantly: thread it onto your Presta valve and the AirStream pump head locks on like it was built for it. No more half-inflated tires or damaged valve cores at the roadside.

Highlights

• Converts Schrader (AV) pump head to Presta (FV) valve compatibility
• Precision-machined brass body with corrosion-resistant gold finish
• Designed specifically for the Author AirStream floor pump series
• Screw-on installation – secure, leak-free connection every time
• Compact and durable; fits in any saddle bag or jersey pocket

In daily use

Keep one adapter on your workbench and another in your ride kit. It threads onto the Presta valve in seconds, then the AirStream’s Schrader head clamps over the adapter as usual. The brass construction withstands repeated use without stripping or seizing, and the gold finish makes it easy to spot among tools. Because it works with any pump that has a standard Schrader head, it also serves as a universal backup for club rides or multi-bike households.
