How to inflate starts at 2:00 ish

[@RONNIELA400]

Right!!!!!!

[@thelife2237]

Thankyou

[@sunnyd84]

Um that lever on the pump head is supposed to be down when pumping and up when taking it off

[@balrajvishnu]

Why they have complicated life with Presta valve. The previous value was working just fine for the bikes

[@after_midnight9592]

Schrader valve works for billions of tires, I'll never know why it's not standard for bikes as well.
At least cars don't use this retarded system, thank God for that...

[@markWayneLynch77]

i been trying for 6months to pump up my dumb tyres. thanks for your vid it helped me a lot

[@allosMD]

thanks for the feedback! I had similar problems.. :)

[@tristangarry7234]

Isn't these inner tube stupid

[@olivelong4511]

Thanks! I ended up with a hand-me-down Control Tower 4 and couldn't figure out how to inflate my presta tires, this was very helpful

[@allosMD]

Glad to have helped!

[@AustinPetDetective]

Thanks for the demonstration, didn't know i needed an adapter, thanks again.

[@allosMD]

You 're welcome!

[@TheAmericanDalaiLama]

dude right, about to go out for a ride and the bike pump wasn't working... wtf is a presta valve :(

[@rr7firefly]

Thank you. This was excellent. I received a Schwann foot pump (with gauge) today. No instructions on connecting pump valve to tire stem. The video provided by Amazon relating to this product was extremely lame. I would grade that video's level of helpfulness as D minus.

[@allosMD]

thanks for the feedback! :)
I try to be as informative as i can.
p.s. a gauge is absolutely necessary for a bicycle pump imo. At the time a made the video i thought it didn't matter that much..

[@rr7firefly]

+allos -- Yes, yes about the gauge. Fortunately you had closeups that showed the little nut at the top of the Presta valve. Your suggestion to press on it to clear it or unstick it was very helpful. BTW, I just finished pumping my tires to 55 PSI and now I can finally take my bike for a ride (no snow here).

[@Mark-cz5vw]

Sir…. THANK YOU. First flat on my bike and had no clue how to put air in it.

[@allosMD]

You 're welcome, glad to have helped!

[@a.s3728]

You don't actually need the adapter. If you screw the head off the pump and up the "safety" lever, you can take out the insulation ring and a plastic piece will come off with it. Flip the plastic piece the other way around, put everything back in and voila, you got yourself a pump with a presta head.

[@boroo8351]

not that simple mate

[@rickster1957]

Thanks! This 4:10 min video could be simplified to a 20 second video and not lose any vital info

[@allosMD]

thanks for the comment, but i also wanted to show the specific floor pump because i coudn't find any youtube video before buying it

[@fnpainn]

You saved me from playing with my friends

[@allosMD]

lol!

[@scottbirdsong6501]

Very clear view and instructions that should have taken less then 20 seconds.

[@GemmasMusic]

SO. LONG.

[@osborncox7989]

Thanks gonna go try ,appreciate ya takin time to show,thanks again

[@allosMD]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@tap1983]

Very clear and fantastic vantage point and zoom of the video. Thanks!!

[@allosMD]

thanks for the feedback!

[@bassinbillRC5300]

Yea! Just the video I was needing. Tube on rear wheel leaked from bottom of rubber valve. Replaced tube with new one which has a presta valve. Thank you

[@allosMD]

thanks for the feedback!

[@2free2snakes]

I made my first solo-pump happen thanks to this vid. The piece which connects to the presta valve which came with the pump is unfortunately garbage though. I will have to replace that.

[@allosMD]

Glad to have helped!

[@rrurban]

Mine leaks in the up position and I cannot get it to hold air while I'm trying to fill it. Just hate these fiicking valves!!

[@RaviPatel-hw7nc]

do it with it down I think he has it backwards here. When u put the lever down, it tightens the grip on the air pump to the adapter

[@waicheonghon8912]

this should be a smart head from giant and requires no adaptor

[@andrepralong1400]

Merci pour le tuto ça nous a bien aidé

[@allosMD]

You 're welcome!

[@averne2402]

Awesome advice and easy to follow. Thanks Heaps!

[@dlee3838]

Dude, are you serious? You are showing people how to use the pump!!!! You must be a genius on how to use the pump!!!!

[@bigpardner]

I am wondering why the adapters have external threads. If the pump fitting does not screw onto the valve or valve adapter what is the point of the threads? It seems they make it more difficult.

[@allosMD]

***** i can only guess the threads exist so as to make easier the screwing of the adapter to the tire valve..especially if you have large fingers...but its only my guess!

[@bigpardner]

Thank you. The internal, or female threads, are of course to screw the adapters onto the Presta valve. The top external, male threads of the adapter could be to screw on the inflating pump but I haven't seen a pump that screws on, you just hold it down tight or flip a switch that clamps it tight. Maybe the threads help the internal squeezing mechanism of the pump head get a better grip.

[@mrjesseAlexanderchan]

Those threads are just for the dust cover fam nothing complicated

[@howardboyd7764]

Thank you.....This was very, very helpful......

[@allosMD]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

just tried this with two expensive pumps and didn't work. The pumps fitting doesn't break the air seal. It works with older style pumps but 50 psi is the maximum because of the amount of air that is released when you disengage.

[@joshakaoger69]

thanks...got these tubes and couldn't figure it out... supposed to be good ones so who knows

[@jonjansky]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@allosMD]

You 're welcome!

[@MrZakazeeko]

Thank you for the info.

[@SLR-722]

Ohhhh, yes, yes, yes, really??? Ohh not yet..... Wowww!!!!!!! Now I know everything!!! Thank you.

[@kathyskinner3516]

Hi thanks so much like other person I did not know I needed an adapter...thanks

[@allosMD]

You 're welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[@lennoxflowers2599]

I've tried that just now. The adapter valve wont screw on

[@Narcostic]

Hi, is it safe to keep the presta valve adaptor mounted on our bike at all times? with a proper cap of course

[@allosMD]

Since the valve will be open -even with a cap on- if there is pressure applied on top, some air might get out.. I haven't tried it though..

[@revolution51]

@3:07-I notice that the adapter is brass and the valve stem is steel.
Is there any danger of the 2 dissimilar metals binding to each other during the pumping operation?

[@allosMD]

I use the pump around 3-4 times each year..I haven't noticed any damage/wear.

[@AJ-um3ht]

Good show chap!!

[@allosMD]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@willierollerskating8642]

Thank you. This was excellent video! It helped me a lot! MUCH APPRECIATED! : )

[@joseargueta9156]

Great video

[@allosMD]

Thanks mate!

[@allosMD]

Thanks mate!

[@captarne1]

Thank you very good instructional.

[@gaminawulfsdottir3253]

It's a locking lever, not a safety lever.

[@davinci6523]

Thanks a lot for Explain. Great

[@aliimran1110]

Which company airpump

[@folliu]

I can´t. When I remove the pump, the air comes out completly. I have not time to remove the adapter because the air comes out in seconds. Sorry for my english I am not native speaker. Maybe is not the right adapter.

[@rickbodas9216]

Thank you that video saved my day

[@juanlugofitness]

Thank you

[@mommythrifter2677]

do you need a special pump to inflate presta valves?

[@allosMD]

nope, you just need a presta valve adaptor

[@chef5702]

Thanks you saved to my life

[@Hadi_AK92]

[@allosMD]

[@torimansell6223]

Worked!

[@allosMD]

glad to have helped!

[@michaelfiorentino1294]

thx

[@allosMD]

ur welcome!

[@fergus247]

the presta valve on my new bike started leaking im pissed

[@RonaldMiddleton-yq5sn]

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

[@allosMD]

I am 6ft1 it's ok for me.. I'd say you better try it before buying

[@chris4710]

Helpful!

[@slamdunklabs]

Hi, my presta valve is missing like this. bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/31357/presta-valve-top-screw-missing.
So the tire can't be inflated, Can I use the adapter to solve the issue?

[@allosMD]

Don't really know.. it has never happened to me.. :/

[@ragefromkeko4848]

its so complex for no reason smh

[@allosMD]

I agree..

[@katkatCSI]

are u greek?

[@holybad]

Fyi the overwhelming majority 9f ppl searching this title will be trying to do this as they watch. Taking 2 fucking minutes to get to the part we are waiting for was a terrible idea.

[@tomspeed2000]

My stupid hand pump make me so tired , i should trow this garbage and buy electric air pump..

[@allosMD]

hahaha, i know the feeling.. ;)

[@tomspeed2000]

Hahah after more than 2 hours trying now my bike wheel had less air than before i begin using that stupid hand pump..

[@allosMD]

[@damianhoward7164]

Dude... four minutes. Just show the information. What a waste of 3:50 seconds.

[@Amateur_rebuilds]

Lol, u did half of that wrong

[@openmythirdeye]

That valve adaptor is bullshit, no other pump needs a proprietary part to inflate a tire. One more way to gouge a little more profit out
