Valve Extender for Kids Bike

Question

I can't seem to fit my bike pump onto my son's bike. The tires are too small, and there isn't enough of a gap to put the head of a bike pump on the valve.

Are there any valve extenders (not permanent) that I can use when I need to inflate his bike tires?

Yes. Slime makes some valve extenders for Schrader valves

, and if you have a Presta valve you can use a Presta to Schrader valve adapter (and if you really want, you can attach a Schrader valve extender to that, since you can buy the Schrader valve extenders at Walmart or whatever)

.

Some companies (like Topeak) make Presta valve extenders as well:

That being said, you can also use a little hose attached to the pump to better access the valve like the ones offered with some Lezyne hand pumps if the chuck is too big.

An example of a bendy extension hose is .

There are also 90 degree extenders which you screw on:

You could always buy some new tubes with the valve set at a 45 degree angle. Schwalbe sell them for £5/6 depending on the size you need. Easiest way I'd say and saves you faffing about drilling holes or screwing valve extenders on and off.
