Bike valves- everything you need to know

Hi, today we would like to show you two main types of bike valves and how they work.
Bike valves are used to control the amount of air in the inner tube. The bike valves work by allowing air into the inner tube and stopping it from escaping, but they can also be used to release air from the inner tube when necessary.

Hi thankyou for the video my question is I have an old Dutch bike the valve is the old type with rubber tube on it. Can I replace it with a modern valve. The bike was built in Yugoslaia with English gears for the Dutch Market. Just got this bike rescued it. Pls would you be so kind to answer my question kind regards Adrian

Hi Adrian, it sounds like you may have the Dunlop valve on your inner tube. When it come to the time when you need to replace the inner tube, you could use a tube with either a Schrader or presta valve. These valves should fit through the hole in the rim, the only issue maybe that the diameter of the presta is smaller than the hole in the rim and it may rattle a bit. To solve this some presta valve come with a screw on lock nut/ring. Hope this helps 😁
