I'm sorry if this was already said, but i have no idea where to buy a schrader valve. The nearest home-improv. store is a long distance so i want to know for sure before hand. Please tell me where i can buy a schrader valve.

So regular bike tire valves will work to for a compressed air chamber?
I can just cut out the tubes and glue in?

If you do chose to do that, make sire that your glue is strong enough or you may end up having the whole valve shoot out of the chamber.

Some of the older bike inner tubes have threaded schraders. Not sure about the new ones. When I first strted pneumatics (6 years ago) They had threaded valves.

Just use the bit that your compressor clips onto for things and a ball valve. It's the little silver quick connect bit thingy if you know what I'm talking about. Oh my gosh darn flippen heck, what is that thing called again.
