  • If it is the Dunlop valve the pump gauge will only show the pressure in the pump and not the tire as the valve will not allow air out to give the pressure. Commented 10 hours ago
  • The “clothespeg” is an alternative form of adapter, allowing you to use a Schrader pump to fill a Dunlop valve. I got one included with the pump I bought in Japan, and the OP’s link is to the Japanese Amazon site. Commented 2 hours ago
  • Are there any benefits to using the clothespeg? Is the gold piece the other adapter? Commented 1 hour ago
  • "When you achieve the target pressure, flipping the small lever should produce a brief "psssht" as the air in the hose equalises, but the air in the tyre should be stopped by your valve." I hear the air escaping a little after each pump. Also, even though the needle keeps dropping to zero, it does slightly go up a little after each pump. "When the tire exploded, did it blow out the tube in a "starfish" pattern?" I'm awaiting my new tube, after the explosion it wouldn't hold air anymore, so I assumed it was destroyed.

  • @John It might be a good idea to buy new tubes of the Presta type. They should fit your rims and be possible to pump with your Schrader pump with a similar metalic adaptor and show the presdure better. Alternatively, think about buying a new pump or a new hose for your pump with multiple outlets for multiple valve types so that you can pump your valves directly. Again, I recommend Presta over Dunlop. Commented 48 mins ago
