Transfers for Quadriplegics
Many thanks to Chris Holcomb and Norbert Holowat for sharing how they get into and out of their racing wheelchairs!
About Wheels of Fire:
Aerelle is a two time High School All-American wheelchair racer and Move United Elite Team member. Raymond is her coach and her dad. We started learning through RUclips videos and other content online and figuring it out as we went along. Eventually, we got the opportunity to talk to other wheelchair racers and coaches. Now several years down the road, we want to pass on the information we wish had been on online when we got started. If you ever have any questions, please use the email in the about section of our channel.

      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 😊

    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 месяцев назад

      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.

    • @unstablenester941
      @unstablenester941 8 месяцев назад

      @raymondjones4035 Thank you. I get it now. It's kinda fat shaming old valves, is what I'm hearing . Lol I appreciate the explanation.

    • @FuFuTheGr8
      @FuFuTheGr8 7 месяцев назад

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

    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

    • @raymondjones4035
      @raymondjones4035 11 месяцев назад

      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.

    • @WheelsOfFireRacing
      @WheelsOfFireRacing Год назад

      That is a good question! I always use the brand I do because I like the grip the tread on the tire gives me. Every athlete has his or her preference. If you find a better alternative, let me know!
