* Wrap an old toe strap, or a rubber band -- which might have come with the replacement inner tube -- around the rolled-up inner tube to hold it together. | * Wrap an old toe strap, or a rubber band -- which might have come with the replacement inner tube -- around the rolled-up inner tube to hold it together. | ||

Suggested by Aaron Goss...It is possible to cut the spring off a long-type Schrader valve core as shown in the photo below, and to remove the pusher pin from the pump hose. Air pressure will then close the valve and prevent leakage as the hose is unscrewed. The seal inside the valve is not as good without the spring: a metal valve cap with a rubber seal should be used. So you can also inflate a tire with an unmodified Schrader valve, you must carry two pump hoses, one with and another without the pusher pin. Is it worth all this trouble to make a retro pump work better? Decide for yourself! | Suggested by Aaron Goss...It is possible to cut the spring off a long-type Schrader valve core as shown in the photo below, and to remove the pusher pin from the pump hose.
