Hi All

Was readying the mountain bike for the first ride of the year today and went to do the tyre pressures. Unscrewed the presta valve, attached the Joe Blow pump (using for the first time) but when I went to put air in it sounded like it was just blowing straight through. Took the pump off the valve and tried to screw it back down but the whole screw and needle are now moving as one and wont let me tighten it in place.

Does it sound like I have broken the valve and need a new inner tube? :(
 
It's probably just jammed, they can be a PITA if u bend them at all. Take a monkey wrench to it to loosen it, if that doesn't work...take a monkey wrench to it!
