Agree with some of the other comments, that I watched several videos on how to inflate a tube with a presta valve and you were the only one who explained the pump adapter. Incidentally, my pump doesn't convert to presta, but my tires came with adapters, but i wasn't aware I had to remove them, unscrew the presta, replace the adapter and pump. Thanks for explaining this.
Dude. You are a legend. Like so many others, the demo of pulling the parts out and turning them around was exactly what I needed to know but failed to find elsewhere. Thank you!
Why the hassle? My mountain bike tube was like a car tire, Schrader, but when I replaced the tube, I got the Presta. Now I need an adapter. Why ? Thanks
Great video. Played with a Bell pump at Walmart for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to convert the pump to Presta. Also the tip to leave the adapter on the stem is very clever! Thank you.
Like others here, I also wasn’t aware of the reversible pump pieces, yet so many other videos overlooked this fact and obviously decided we were born with this knowledge. Thank you!
got a new bike tube with Presta valve, spent two plus hours trying to pump with my new Topeak Peakini pump. Just about ready to go back to the shop and I find this "Jackpot" of a video. The pump was set for Shrader and I was clueless until Now! Picture instructions were micro small on box. You saved me arse and I now can ride again.
Here because the instructions (for switching from Presta to Schrader) that came with my new pump were abysmal. Haven't had a bike for 12 years, and even back then I was hardly riding, so forgotten about the different types of valves. You made this very easy; thank you!
That's you so much I had been going nuts trying to find out wtf kind tool I needed. Wish I looked up what kinda valve I had sooner. You saved me from yeeting my bike in the nearest ditch.
Yeah there are tons of people that don't know. Hopefully the bike shops let the customers know, as it seems bikes are coming more and more with presta valves. Glad the video saved your bike. :)
i was literally struggling to us a hand pump on the presta valve..so a bunch of vids and none were helpful. and finally saw this one...it was so easy...keep it up... subscribed instantly ..
Oh my goodness I could not figure out for the life of me why my pump wasn't working!! until I came across your video that actually un screws the end and I realized when I un screwed mine I droped the little rubber things inside! Found them and worked like a charm tysm
Until watching this video, I had no idea about the schneider pump working for presta with conversion. I badly needed the presta pump and this video satisfied my need.Thank you so much bro! Game changer.
Thank youuuuu for your super helpful video! I was so stuck and realised the plastic section was missing from my pump! No other video showed this, you are officially a lifesaver
Took me ages to find out that my pump was duel. I could not get my pump to work (presta) until I saw that I had to change the parts around. There were no instructions with the pump. I was so close to dumping it until I saw this video. Thanks.
hmmm. Could be something wrong with stem, but it could be a different system, which I never explained in this video. It could be the one way valve. I'm not certain, as I need to see a picture to verify. You could send a picture to bikes@sportsshack.ca and I can see from there. But if it is a european style tube, you could use a nozzle to blow air into the stem. Hope that helps. Thanks
@@SportsShackEDM Thank you for your reply. I am grateful. I realized after considering your video that maybe the trouble was what I was doing. I found that I would press down the valve and then tighten the valve. That is why the air was escaping. I should have just tightened the valve. I did and all was well. I guess I thought that one had to do both to get the valve tightened. I was wrong and happy to learn that!
It helps me solve my puzzle! I had my new pump for years not know what to do about it! Now I know I just have to turn the inside piece around! Thank you!
Good video will the PSI be accurate with the adapter I have a presta valve tube the tire says 65PSI but when I put the adapter on I am getting 15PSI and the tire seems like it's getting hard I'm afraid to overfill it and blow the tube
THANK YOU ugh I hate changing tires on $40 bicycles just to get them moving ten miles before something else goes wrong and Walmart was al out of the cheap tubes.
Both tires are completely empty after a long period of non-use. The Presta valve moves a lot because of this. The pump head will not stay on the valve. Every time I try to pump, the head blows right off. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.
I was wondering the same thing. It looks like to me, almost at the end of the video, he just stopped pumping, unscrewed from the shrader adaptor, tightened the presto valve and was done. No air lose.
When using the presta to shrader adapter, should the pump engage the valve pin before you inflate, and hear a release of air when locking the pump head?
Depends on pump, but it's normal to hear some release of air. Sometimes the adaptors can be funky, and you may have to adjust the adaptor either more or less tight. Make sure the pin is unscrewed all the way to make best connection.
Hello sir, it seems from your video that you say its ok to pump your tire with the car pump at the gas station. is this safe? i have a psi gauge that i use for my car, was wondering if i could just pump carefully with the pump at gas station and just measure psi with the gauge. was thinking it still might be risky and might blow out the tire. please lmk if you have experience with this. thank you
Yeah for sure most gas stations is will be ok. Just make sure you do short bursts regardless. Average tire is 40-65 psi, so if you have a gauge that'll help for sure.
If you have the tube I think you have. Think of it more as a one way valve. Works the same for a schrader valve. You can force air in, but air won’t come out. If you have an air compressor with air nozzle it is the easiest way. Put the nozzle over top and just force the air in. See one of the latest videos I did similar to what I did there. ruclips.net/video/t-HFE_84AUg/видео.html. So no need to remove that piece. Hope that helps. Let me know if that solves the problem. Thanks
@@SportsShackEDM Here's a shaky video of what I experienced: ruclips.net/video/41s7lAKzMYg/видео.html I also tried only-just attaching the pump hose to the valve, but no air got through at all there. Video demonstrates me attaching the hose, which mostly deflates the tyre, then reinflating it, then removing the hose, which lets half the air out again. I suspect this could be solved by purchasing a push-fit hose, but with all the good bike shops either forced to close or sold out in the UK, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I'm going to have to borrow a pump instead.
I see. Well, I’ve never used a piece like that personally, but I know the air shouldn’t escape too much, but, apparently it does, no matter how fast you unscrew it. Have you tried half way on the threads? Basically enough where it presses the pin slightly so air doesn’t escape as quick, then you can unscrew it quicker. Sometimes tightening it all the way doesn’t work. Besides a newer pump, the only option I can think of is to bring bike to a gas station, or like you said, if a neighbour has a pump you can borrow. Best of luck.
I took a loaned Schrader/Presta pump apart trying to figure out how it worked. OMG!! I wasn’t even close!! Can anyone explain how to put a pump together. I don’t have any pressure any more!! 😩
Sports Shack okay thanks can't believe I bought two because I thought it wasn't working and I don't like wasting money. They said it was for bikes as well. I guess I'll have to buy another one.
After 3 hours of frustration trying to pump the tyres on my new scooter I realised my pump was set for a presta and not a Schrader. Thank you!
Glad it helped. I hate when something similar happens to me.
@@SportsShackEDMcan you get schrader to presta valve adapters?
This is how to do a great youtube video: straight ahead, getting to the point, with just enough information, no more and no less. Thank you!
Well said
The Presta valve is the perfect answer to a question nobody asked.

Thanks! A perfectly simply and straightforward tutorial for a newbie like me. Much appreciated.
THANK YOU!!! I didn't know I had to unscrew the end of the valve on the presto.
Finally, a decent video that contains just the details I need. Thanks for posting this video. It solver the mystery on our pump

Thank u for best video on presta valve & you made it 💯 easy. I have watched so many videos with no results.
Glad it helped. I always try to make videos as easy as possible.
Omg thank u so much! I have been trying to figure this out for so long!! Fab! Happy mum happy little girl 😊
Thank you this video! This helped me alot I was trying to figure it out for last 15 mins until I found this video!
Thank you from all my heart you are the only one i found that showed us the way to use the pumper
Very useful video, i've watched a lot of video on how to pump on presta valve, but yours is the best.
I've had a pump that i've had for 2 years now and i just learned how to convert it, thank you
Thank you for this demonstration, I learned a lot and I have owned bikes for years.. Videos like these are why I love RUclips.
Right?!.. Yes you're welcome, thank you for watching.
You saved my Presta life. Thank you!👍
Perfect, I needed to know how to switch my tire pump from Presta to Schrader and this showed me.. thanks!
so lucky to find this video, i've been planning to buy an adapter. now i know the magic trick. thank u for sharing
Dude. If there are layers in heaven you go to the penthouse. Absolute legend.
I'm just seeing this now lol Thanks!!
This is a great video!! I have a Presta valve and wasn't aware of the other pump options.
Nice job. Just converted my cannondale to a hybrid city bike - this helped

Great! Thanks a lot for the super clear explanations! I've done it wrong all my life...
The only video that explains the pump. The Pump!!!
Great video right to the point and very informative. Thank you!
Great idea keeping the adaptor on the stem!😎👍
This video didn’t help me, but I did solve my problem while I was watching it. So I’m liking it.
Thanks! I think lol :) Glad something came out of it.
Got what i needed from this video, that bike pumps can work on car and wheelbarrow tires. Thanks.
Thanks for this, never knew about these valves do was wes well stumped, went out & got a new multi valve pump & job done 😎👍
YOURE THE MAN! THANK YOU! HAD A PUMP FOR YEARS, finally used it RIGHT!
Thank you so much I didn't realize I had to switch to the presta air pump
This man is a genius
Thanks for this, really clear and helpful video
Great help!! I got a Trek Mountain Bike and that helps me a lot how to use the valve !! 👍👏
Dude. Just saved me. Such simple
Directions!!
Excellent ideas and explanations
Thank you I really needed this.... 😊
This is quite helpful. Thank you!
Your video was awesome and simple thanks for posting...very informative
We are all here to learn how to pump a tyre!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 great 👍 .
Is video help me out tons! I thought I bought a bad pump. But I just didn't know how to use it LOL thanks again
No problem, glad it helped. Thanks for stopping by.
Life saver. Thank you so much!!
1:42 why isn't the tube expanding?

Thanks for your guidance
Sorted us out - thank you
Easy you made this.... 😊
HUGE THANKS

Thank you so much
!!!
No problem. Glad it helped.
Thanks I have a bike with a new tire and never used Presta before
Glad I could help. It seems more bikes are now coming with presta.
THANKS I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT THE BIKE PUMP TO SWITCH IT AROUND
I has a Trek mini pump, but the adapters doesn't fit! WTF? I flipped the adapter and still no fit to presta!
How in the world do you keep the air from coming back out on the presta when ur done pumping it up?? Im so frustrated with this
