The post The Capless Speed Valve is a Better Presta to Schrader Adapter, No Cap Required appeared first on Bikerumor.

The other type of valve – Presta – is bike-specific and skinnier. Presta valves are meant to hold higher pressures and seal more tightly than a Schrader valve.

This floor bike pump is compatible with Presta, Schrader and Dunlop valves, and has a dedicated bleed button to get the right amount of pressure each time. The maximum pressure is 180 PSI.

This mini bike pump fits Presta and Schrader valves and is equally suitable for road and mountain bikes. A reliable thread-on valve connection prevents air from escaping.

There are two main types of bike tire valves you’re likely to work with: Presta and Schrader. Presta valves are generally longer and skinnier and found on most road and mountain bikes, while ...

Inner tubes can be quite expensive and they're easy to fix, so it's a good idea to mend them instead of simply replacing one and chucking the old rubber. Using a puncture repair kit is also better for ...

Here in Germany most bicycles use Dunlop/Woods valves. I have switched to Schrader just because it’s easier to get a decent pump for it. I don’t think I have ever noticed a Presta valve on a bike.

Schwalbe claims that when used in place of regular Presta valves on tubeless tires, Clik increases air flow by 50%. This means that a given amount of tire pressure can be reached with half the effort.

Roughly 130 years ago, New Yorker August Schrader and his able son, George, applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the ownership of their new invention. It was a valve. "This ...

Designed to inflate both mountain bike and road tires fast, this 365cc-per-stroke floor pump features a SwitchHitter II head, which automatically switches between Schrader and Presta valves, as well ...

There aren’t many technologies as ubiquitous in cycling as the Presta air valve. So it’s surprising that, in the roughly 100 years since its invention, it’s basically never changed. Until now.
