    brilliant, may I ask what electric pump you are using here? Also, when Im done inflating it leaks so much air in the few seconds where I try to tie the valve back. Tips?

      @aerellejones5949 Місяць тому

      There are different types of presta adapters. There are pump adapters and tire adapters. Mine is on the pump but there is another type that goes on the valve so that a regular air pump can attach to it

    What she doesn’t tell you is that, unlike unconventional things Presta valves work in reverse- when you push the pump on - the catch is down and raised to lock in - the female pump valve also squeezes past the male to let the air in 😊

    I almost broke mine..I couldn't figure out how to pump it..the pump wouldn't pump and I start jamming it. Didn't realize you had to listen the stupid tube. When I finally googled it, the stupid thing was slightly bent.

    So basically, no way without an adapter... Dumb. Why are these valves so popular all the sudden!? When did the old ones suddenly stop working perfectly fine??
    *ps where my McGiver Fam at that can explain getting in air WITHOUT an adapter? Saw a comment about a ball point pen...
    (Adapter is NOT an option right meow)
    Thank you

      When you make a tire that is very narrow, a common Schrader valve just won't work. It's too wide. I guess some French "MacGyver" engineer really wanted a skinn tire. Thus the presta valve was born.

    Bike companies making propietary air valves.. They should have used the standard car tire valve and problem solved No adapters needed.

    Was watching another video, and it referred to these valves. So I watched this video to become familiar with them. What is the purpose?
    What do these valves bring to the party that wasn't already there?
    It seems like the air valve version of the torx screwdriver.

    • @raymondjones4035
      @raymondjones4035 8 місяців тому +2

      A standard valve like in a car tire is too wide to mount well to a narrow, light-weight, high-end bicycle tire / tube. In addition if you made a hole in the rim of a high-end bicycle that was large enough for a standard tire valve, there would be very little metal left around the hole on a bicycle rim. The Presta valve is designed for the lightweight, high-end bicycle wheels that are used on racing wheelchairs.

      It's kinda fat shaming old valves, is what I'm hearing .

      I appreciate the explanation.

      They're also much lighter, so there's no need for a counterweight to balance the wheel on high performance, high speed road tires.

    These valves are awful. I hate them. I have an adapter so finding a pump isn´t a problem anymore but they are soooo flimsy...
    I bent the tip of the valve on numerous occasions and even destroyed one completely.
