Im assuming you use regular bike pump fittings ROFL. Just make sure your pressure doesnt get too high.

There are two different tube fittings, presta and shraeder. I'd guess you have Shraeder on your bmx bike, though I'm very surprised you have Presta's on your mountain bike. Here's a pic as illustration.

You can buy adapters foe either valve at your local bike store.

Little Cindy can do it! You can too!

Her names Jennifer, duh!

If you're planning on really getting into bmx like I am. Get the compressor it's so handy. Because depending on how old you are its a bitch to walk to the gas station to pump it up. So get a compressor or just go to the gas station.

Btw in case you're a newbie to bmx, pump your tires up to the psi range that is given on your tires. It usually a range of 10. With the psi here your rims will last much longer.

If you're being serious, look at www.bikenashbar.com or www.performancebike.com - both are low price online bike shops that certainly have what you would need.

Uhm...well those sites are nice and all. But if your going to bmx you need www.danscomp.com

he's looking for an adapter for an inner tube - the sites I linked will be much cheaper than a specialty bmx site.

Just buy a new tube.
