new manufacturers of hoses for vintage frame pumps?
I've got maybe 4 bikes that have old vintage frame pumps, but all of the hoses are for schrader valves. Are there any new manufacturers that make presta hoses? I see some used ones on Ebay, but I would prefer newer rubber if possible, given I don't want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere.
The alternative that I have used are presta valve pump heads that thread directly on the other end of the pump, as shown below. The part that irks me is that the pump peg is kind of small compared to the schrader hose end.
If I am stuck with continuing to use those old pump heads, are there known sources of new rubber for the ones that are cracking?

Will likely take some creative hacking to attach the ends so the hose goes into the pump like normal or you may have to carry the hose separately.
Or you can buy this for the hose that should fit.

You should be able to find bulk hose to cobble onto the fittings of the old hose.

Try Yellow Jersey cycle in Arlington WI. Phone calls work best, his web site is "challenging".
