Schrader stem to Presta pump adapter
I have a few Presta only pumps and occasionally need to pump up a Schrader valve.
Been searching for adapter but only able to find ones going the other way.
Any tips out there?
I fabbed one from a Presta extender and Schrader to Dunlop adapter, but it is leaky, hard to use and most inelegant

Actually they do make a Presta pump head to Schrader valve adapter and one was included with a Performance house-brand mini-pump I bought years ago. I've never used it but presume it works and I keep it as an emergency tool to help someone else.

I carry a set in my flat fix kit. Actually used it twice. Here is another source...

BITD (in fact, way back, when that Sheldon Brown character was just an eccentric who could probably strip a Sturmey- Archer blindfolded and used to come and hang with our shop mechanic, he and the mechanic had "damsel in distress" adopters they made from available parts in any bike shop. The rest of us made ourselves the same. (In the permanent hope we would find an attractive young lady with a flat.) That fall I had my head injury. The "distress" adopter ran away, memory of it and how to make it was lost and I went without for 40 years. Searched last spring and there it was!
Good that there is a cheap Asian variety so all can have them but I'll pay real money for Italian and a good US company selling it. (And it takes me a forget-ably short time to spend that amount of bucks on espresso.) (Edit: is AliEspress Alibaba? I may have that al wrong.)

Pricey, but I would have paid twice that for one, the other day.
The Alibab one, was too short for my threadon Presta pump head, and needed the extender and teflon tape to seal well.
Thanks , guys
