Hi #BikeNite, it's Wednesday here, and time for our weekly call for questions. See below. I hope you are having a good week!

Next #BikeNite is this Friday at 4pm Pacific standard time (UTC-8)!
This is our weekly call for questions. Reply with any you'd like me to add to the discussion on Friday. Please add the BikeNitePQ hashtag so it's easier to find a Proposed Question. There is room for more!

Asking for the technical terms for what I want.
Air pumps for bicycles used to screw on. Nowadays everything seems to be "push on and then move a lever."
Very bad experiences with the latter.
Am I doing it wrong?
When I've finished pumping I move the lever back, it still doesn't want to come off. I often end up losing the air pressure I just put in getting it off, and at least once I ruined the tube by pulling the valve off.
Can I get a screw-on adapter? Named what?
(I asked this the other day and got some good answers, but more would be welcome.)

Is that a Pretsa to Schraeder converter?
