Has anyone found a really good Presta head for an air compressor? I've got one of the little brass adapters but I can't get a good seal between that and the compressor fitting, which is one of the cheap ones with a sprung trigger on it. Any better ideas?

I use the black ones that come with mavic tubeless valves.

Yes, the SKS one

I bought a cheap car tyre inflator from screwfix, cut the shader valve off and replaced it with the SKS one and it works a treat

If you get one just be careful when it's new as it can be a sod to pull off the valve and if your not careful you can easily smash the back of your hand onto the disc rotor when it finally comes off the valve.

I fitted a Joe Blow hose and twinhead. As good as anything I've used.

HighOnBikes on ebay has just the head, if you already have a spare hose.
