I had the same problem I was actually looking for the video on how to fill a Presta valve cause I thought this was some weird type of that valve and saw 3 valves on the thumbnail for this video.
One good benefit for Presta valves is that they are great for quick terrain adjustments when mountain biking. Other than that, I'd also prefer Schrader valves because I find them quicker to get my pump head attached.
This is the best video. I don't even own a bicycle right now and I am subscribing. I'm sure this video is going to blow up. Make another one from this same video and call it. Not a Presta Valve or a Schrader Valve, A bike tire valve you may not have seen before. That should help it rank over all the other videos that only explain the two other types. I didn't know what I was looking for but that title should help with the algorithm.. This video should be the top one because you include all 3 types and explain them well. Good luck! PS if you want help editing this one let me know.
Dunlop or English valve is still the default tyre valve on regular bicycles here in Japan because it's the easiest to maintain, even grandma can replace a broken valve core by herself. 😊 For sports bikes (MTB and road bikes), Presta valve is mostly used. Schrader valve is very rarely used on bicycles.

Thank you so much for this detailed video! I have a bike with one presta and one dunlop valve and while I made peace with the presta, I can't make the dunlop to keep the air. I inflate it and it deflates fully in a day. The inside of the dunlop came out a few times while I was figuring it out and I managed to fully inflate it (which deflates again), do you think I broke something or forgot to somehow lock the air in?
Check if the valve is seated properly. If it is, and still losing air, you can replace the valve core. Some valve cores have a replaceable rubber seal (like a small hose that you can cut 1 cm of length and place instead of the old such hose on the valve) - others have a replaceable core. Goes without saying that you should first check and confirm that it's the valve that is losing air (put some soapy water or similar on the valve to see if it makes bubbles). Relja

Thank you so much for this video. The used bike I bought has Dunlop valves, which had me scratching my head a bit.

having a lot of failed valve cores, are we?
60 years biking , I have had one core, a Presta, fail , when uncapped core got hit in freaky drop.
Thank you so much, i have Dunlop valve on my tires and no other videos were talking about it . i was going crazy😂.
I also appreciated this explanation of the different inner tube valves. Thanks 😊
4:45 - "...if you're a super weight weenie." LMAO!
