Bike pump hissing during inflation (beginner question)

[msincredible]

So, I dug out the 15 year old foot pump that we bought probably to inflate basketballs, and it works PERFECTLY, even though the lever is all skewed from my husband's gargantuan strength. It doesn't do Presta, unfortunately. Oh the irony.

You can get an adapter from Schrader to Presta.
