Schrader vs Presta - Which is better?

- In this video, I do a quick comparison on Schrader and Presta valves. Most all performance bicycles today use Presta valves, however, many believe the Schrader is a more desirable valve. What are your thoughts? Comment below on which one you think is better and why.

I like the Schrader, just a little less to worry about, less to fiddle with. Most mine are Presta, but I'm always happy to use my schrader.
Thanks for commenting!
We have bikes with both and my feeling is that it's MUCH easier for us to air up the Schrader valve bikes because we don't have to mess with screwing the little adapter on and off each time we want to air up a tire. In fact, I am considering drilling out my lone Presta holdout just so they are all the same (to make life easier). I know I could get a pump that would go directly on a presta valve, but the cordless pump we have, as well as the manual pumps (and virtually every other source of air in the states) is ready made for Shrader valves (since that is what is on virtually every automobile). So for me it comes down to what is most standard here, and that's the Schrader valve.
After working with both valves for so long they're are much of a muchness.
I find in the shop neither one is better than the other to work with.
But from a consumer point of view Schrader is easier for the average punter. Easier to put air into, can do it at a petrol station without an adapter and no tip to bend or snap off.
I've seen more Presta valves clog than Schrader and way more failures with Presta.
As for drilling rims, people need to understand it's the same rim regardless on how it's drilled.
I thinks I've had more clogging issues with Schrader valves, but honestly, neither type are immune. I agree with you on the rim drilling though!
Schrader is more practical 😒
a presta valve is like a slow charging apple fire wire cable, it cant charge my headlamp nor my tailight, battery pack, bluetooth speaker, go pro. usb c would be the obvious choice. im replacing my presta valves with schraeder so its the same style as my , dirtbike and 3 cars
You can let out the air from the Schrader valve by using the valve dust protection cover, and pressing it in an angle to reach the valve pin..
Presta valves absolutely rubbish , fragile and crap
They have the advantage of being thinner than Schrader, the rim can be narrower too and they are lighter (the wheel will have a better balance on high speed). But anyway, I like the Schrader valve because it is easier to stop a car to ask for a pump than pushing the bike to find a suitable pump in the case that you have no valve adapter. I personally converted all my bike rims to accept Schrader valves, just drilling through with a 8 mm drill bit.
@dividivus I had mine drilled out as could not stand the presta valves , bent cores , fragile and crap , in my view the worse invention regarding bike inner tubes .
It's really simple actually for the presta, jeez you guys stop gorillaing on your equipment. Anything will break if abused or used carelessly
great video. i'm old school, i'll stick with schrader.
I feel like Schrader valves last longer. I have had a couple of presto‘s break on me. the little metal insert with the gripped cap bends and sometimes breaks after the Structural integrity is compromised. Then I have to put a new valve in. But I agree with you on inflation. It’s easier to inflate a totally flat tube that has a Presta valve than a Schrader. Thanks for the video.
I just tried Presta with two tires. I'm taking them out and putting Schroeder back in. I can't stand bad engineering and Presta is just bad engineering - the valve thingy comes out when you undo the cap - too many parts for such a simple task. Schroeder always worked but we are all told by the freak show that change is good even though there is no need for it and they didn't have Schroeder when I went to get new tubes.
I needed to pump my shrader tires as they were deflating. I pumped the front to max and then the back. 3 days later the back tube is completely flat and no longer wants to pump and doesn't seem like the nipple thing is holding pressure. Did I break the tube?
Possibly. The only way to find out is to remove the tire and inspect the tube.
I was looking for congregation and this popped up
I'd like to observe that you can get Schrader stems which are threaded on the outside all the way to the tube. I don't know how common they are in bicycling, but they are basically the default in aviation.
They are available and fairly common now.
Well, I'm looking to buy exactly that online now (road bike, 27x1.25) and they don't seem to be available anywhere.
shrader for me
Prefer Presta. Only slight downside is easier to bend when installing and removing chuck.
Yeah, they're definitely more fragile!
My Diamondback with Fattire 27.5/3.00 came with Presta. I think is moronic to do that on such a big tire.
Since I've had bikes with the presta valves I understand the need an mechanics better. I see why they are smaller. Used to be frustrating but there's the adapter if necessary with a pump. I use my battery powered car compressor/ charger at home, it's got the digital read for correct pressure, on the road the CO2 option for me is best due to weight and size since it's compact and quick
the only thing i hate about presta is its very easy to be bent with the pump and if u bend it alot it just disconnects and breaks but its better in terms of convinience
Shadder get clog with slime? Or presta?
I completely agree with you Joey. Any issue with using presta valves with a rim designed for shrader? Good work as usual.
Thanks Denis!
Presta tubes seem to air up faster for me. Could just be a placebo
There is less to work around. I've found it's faster going in and out!
Merci!
Thank you so much Denis!!!
Yo Joey!
What's up Oreo?
