[quote=Seacrest]I did that on a mountain bike once. It worked fine.
But the rims on a MTB are large enough, and I prefer filling those up with a motorized (ie gas station) pump as well.
How hard did you hammer on them afterwards? Does't make much since to buy nice wheels if they're not going to be used as intended.
And the presta to schrader valve adapters work just fine. No reason to drill and swap tubes just to use a compressor.
I have both the individual standalone screw on adapters ... one on each tire ... and mtn bike pumps with a built-in adapter.
