Wow, thanks! I acquired a euro ebike that has Presta valves & my pump is for Schrader only. I stopped in my local bike shop & the guy was trying to convince me to spend approx. $100.+ to have him switch out my valves & tubes from Presta to Schrader 😐. I asked him about an adapter & he claimed they didn’t sell them, he didn’t know ANYthing about that, & no one at the store did either. 🚩 (Red flag!). Been biking for decades & I sensed I was not being told the truth. So here I am on RUclips learning about this less than a dollar part!!! Unbelievable! THANKS 🙌
Wow, that seems really shady that a shop wouldn’t steer you first towards this super simple solution. The second most easy solution would be to buy a cheap hand pump that has both Presta and schrader capability. So glad we were able to help and keep you from getting seriously over charged. I would definitely avoid that shop in the future.
I would definitely avoid doing any other business with that LBS for sure.
Location of bike shop so I will avoid it. No name, just the city and street please.
Wal Mart has the adapter for about $2.00
@@jeffhallel8211 Amazon has a 5 pack with dust covers for $6.00
Being 'older' riders and just up grading our old bikes, my wife and I went to put air in the tires before riding and guess what? a valve we'd never seen before. Called the bike shop and they said bring the bikes in to get air, 20+ miles away, went to Walmart of all places after watching your video and got two adapters for $2.00. ( No one at the bike shop mentioned the valves when we bought the bikes) Thank You.
You’re very welcome. So glad we were able to help and hopefully save a little bit of money and time. Bummer that your local shop didn’t immediately identify this as the solution.
This solved my problem! Thanks for the help! That adapter is key
Really helpful video… and the tip at the end about closing the valve and putting the adapter back on for the double seal is something I’m going to try myself when I get my adapters delivered. Thank you
Thank you isn’t enough. Nobody has ever shown me to put the adapter directly on the valve… what a difference. Sincerely from 🇨🇦
LOL... This is the first thing about my new mountain bike that has made me feel like a 100% noob. Thanks!!!
Thank you for posting this video. I just recently got back into biking and didn’t realize a presta valve was a thing until I saw this on my Trek Verve 3
Thank you! I’m new to road biking! And this was super helpful and your video matched the title!
Very well done video that answers the one question I had about closing screw after inflation
I have a Specialized Fat Boy, and couple of times I've had to replace a tube. Even with a good quality floor pump, it's exhausting work to inflate the tubes from scratch. During the Florida winter months I take longer rides and I dread getting a flat tire because it means having to pump it up with a small hand pump even though it's designed for fat bike tubes. I dread ever having to inflate a tube with the hand pump, and I've been looking at the adapters and perhaps carrying a battery-powered pump on the bike. I wondered how the adapters work, so I'm glad to have found your video. Thank you.
I finally purchased a nice bike (Specialized) and never knew how to use a Presta. This was very helpful. Thank you.🚴
Me to, i got my new bike. I was like.. what the fuckity fuck??? LOL
And of course the pump that came with my daughter's new rock hopper was Schrader only. Once again digging through the drawer looking for the elusive adapter... which DOESN'T seal correctly with the new pump
Thanks for showing up close how to put it on and in what order. Seems very basic but it’s my first time handling a Presta valve .. on a bike worth 8k … full of sealant in the tubeless tire . The visual helped give confidence
Great video, I bought a 2020 Giant Talon bike when the pandemic hit and I only rode it for a few months, put it away and was never able to pump up my tires. Now I know what I need
Great to hear. I hope you made your life just a little bit better. Thanks so much for watching.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the tip on the adapter
Omg thank you for this video because one I have a Ryobi pump just like the one in your video and two my full suspension bike has tubeless tires..very helpful..!!!
Thank you, we keep bending presta valves whilst topping up on trails :)
Thank you, that was a great video and covered what I was after.
Thank you I've just ordered adaptors .👍🏻👍🏻
Really helpful video . 🤗
Thank you so much for the good explanation. I can ride my bike again. Helped so much with this video👍
Thank you. Explains a few things with regards to my grandchildren's bikes. As for " old school", everthing started somewhere. 😎🐯
Scott, you are spot on about that Ryobi inflator. I've had the analog version and it's been bulletproof. Actually, the whole Ryobi One-Plus ecosystem is an amazing value, and Home Depot has those... and probably lots of other stores sell these Ryobi products, but Home Depot has pretty much everything that Ryobi offers in that line, and Amazon, not so much. And no, I don't work for HD or Ryobi.
Also, the Ryobi inflator already comes with a Presta adapter, it's the gray plastic thing, slipped over the basketball needle. But buying more Presta adapters is a good idea anyway.
very good! that is exactly the info I was looking for. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip of keeping the adapter on the valve!
Very informative my guy! Thanks
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Short, sweet, and helpful. Many thanks.
Thank you for teaching me how to inflate a tire with a presta valve. No adapter needed with my Bell Air Attack 650 pump which can do both valve types.
Thanks for the content! It is really helpful, i am kinda new to presta 👍👍👍
Thanks great tips straight to the point i have the same electric pump and have a presta valve bike now this tut helped alot.😚
Same
I hate pumping up my bicycle tire that has a Presta valve. And I know how important correct tire pressure is for a good riding experience. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad we were able to help a little bit. Hopefully you were able to find a good solution for your every day needs.
Exactly what I was look for, thanks for the help!!!!
So glad we were able to help. Hope your out there getting some great rides. Thanks for watching!
For chrissakes.....lol. Thank you for the video! These simple, detailed explanations are the best!!
i had 4 tubes pop in less than a week, finally on the fourth swap my bike shop found a problem with the tire, so we fixed that, but he didnt have any 27.5" x 3.0" tubes in schrader, so i got presta, and they made it so much more confusing than it had to be for me to learn how to inflate it 🤣 Thanks for the help for my first air refill
Sorry you were having all those problems. It’s definitely a little more complicated system. Glad you got it figured out. Enjoy those rides.
Not going to lie to you I had the skinny and facing towards the tire not away from the tire that was my biggest problem thank you so much.
Thank you very very much for sharing this with us.actually I didn't know Twist and open up this before the air blows.
That helped a lot. I got a new tire and I have no idea how to put the air in the tire but it has one of those little adapters on it
So glad to hear that the video helped. Hope you are enjoying some great Springs rides. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Scott... just what i needed to see!
Useful video, thanks for making!
thanks for the video time index. really saved time
I first used my bike frame mounted pump on a Presta valve after changing a flat on the road. I aired up, unscrewed the pump and out came the Presta valve core. I put the core back in with a little damage to it and limped home. I searched online and found out about these adapters. Now I feel safer on the road. At home I air up with a floor pump and no adapter since the adapter is too wide for the floor pump clamp on nozzle. I also bought a Presta valve core tightening tool with some spare cores.
thanks for the info, i lol'ed when you showed your ryobi pump 😃
Thanks for the info. It was very useful to me. Cheers.
crazy i came to this video because I have one of those Ryobi pumps and was trying to find an adapter for my presta bikes so I could use it. Then you wipe the exact one I have out. Haha nice.
Thanks for the straightforward information. 😊
Really nice presentation.
Well Done.
Thanks cutie! This helps me a lot. I’ll grab a presta adapter tomorrow.
Thanks! Very helpfull!
Coolski, got it going. Had two adapters one smallet and one larger. If you look closely at the valve it has two different threads. The small one did not work, but the larger one did. No need to tighten too much.
And you need to be careful not to screw the little thingy with your converter. Test with a pen or similar
Great explanation
Thank you for the help
Just bought a Gazelle bike that had the adapter fitted. It really confused me! Interestingly, the bike shop sold me inner tubes with Schrader valves.
Thanks for explaining what was going on.
Yes it helped, I’ve never seen a presta valve before. Now I don’t have to break it.
Super helpful!
thats a great help
I like the leave it on the bike idea
These things are such a pain in the rear. I already have many tools and gauges for a Shrader valve. Even using adapters doesn’t work correctly for some things like my gauges. The first upgrade to my new bike will be to change to Shrader valves.
Thanks for the details
I did not know such a thing existed... I smashed it.
So helpful. Thank you
Nice one very helpful 👍
Thanks super helpful!
thanks this was helpful!
Tnx Scott. Even my wife will be able to use the adapter now. Rather annoying that the adapters are not included, or at the very least mentioned when buying a pump.
Thanks man. I needed the help!
Hope we were able to make life just a little bit easier. Thanks for watching.
This was super helpful 💪🏾💯
those Ryobi inflators are great..... tires, balls, beach rafts etc.
Thank you. Great help!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching
Both valves work fine. Both will hold pressure. Both will not unintentionally let out pressure.
My car, mountain bike, Onewheel, Sur Ron and BMX bike all have schrader valves. No issues.
I have however had the little screw cap come off a presta valve and it wouldn’t stay closed. A shcrader valve, when under pressure, will always close.
Just my $0.02. But great review on the adaptor as it’s what I’m looking for since my mini pump and c02 inflator only allow for presta valves.
Very helpful . Thankyou
Thanks a million my good man, such a good tutorial 👌 👏
Thanks for the feedback. I hope it helped. Thanks for watching.
New to cycling and have had less issues with Schrader, and presta valvles are for looking cool. Hard to pick which ones better.
The Ryobi inflator actually comes with its own presta adapter.
They put it over the needle valve adapter in the accessory tray so they can fit three adapters in two slots.
It's not the best quality since it's plastic.
But it's there.
Thanks Scott
Thank you!
Very helpful
Thanks man!!
Excellent perfect video
The best bike pumps for dealing with Presta valves are the German topeak pumps. They lock on very nicely. I have no choice but to use Presta valves. On my 42mm deep Aero wheelset. They require 60mm long presta valves. Luckily for me a knowledgeable guy in a bike shop. Told me about Topeak bike pumps. And I have a mini morph one. Its AWESOME.
And Ive never had a problem. They tend to hold the air better than Schrader inner tubes in my experience. I had 100 PSI in my tires. And they only dropped to 89 PSI in a month.
I remember Schrader tubes dropping to less than 50 PSI over a similar time period...
Thanks Buddy 👍🏻
Brillant, thanks
Thank you 🙏🏽
and Presta valves look so much nicer than those old Schrader ones IMO, I have just converted 2 old Mavic M231s to presta, which can easily be done with grommets or old plastic valve caps
That's awesome, I came here to see if I was doing it wrong and apparently we have the same setup lol I too use a Ryobi compressor like that one with the digital gauge, except it doesn't give me the most accurate reading, I notice when I pull the trigger or even let go of it it starts reducing in PSI. I don't think the tire is losing air but I feel like the compressor isn't giving that accurate of a reading? I'm doing exactly what you're doing. The only thing is I can't see your reading in the video, there is a glare. any suggestions? thought about even getting the next compressor up from Ryobi and trying that. it comes with a gold medal adapter unlike this one with a plastic one.
GREAT DIMO THANK YOU
Great to hear. Hope we were able to make things a little more clear.
Whoever invented presta valves should have to sleep with 500 of them in their bed. For life.
Ha ha ha ha, that’s hilarious. Definitely understand the frustration.
Yah!!
Good tip
Hi Scott, I have the same type bike pump that you showed early in the video and I can't figure out how to use it on a presta valve. Any chance you could explain that for me?
Thanks!
Thanks! Would you know why air tip unscrews, but it’s loose and when I put the adapter on, it pushes the tip in? Any ideas
Hi how can you convert a presta valve to schrader valve every time i try to pump my tire the threads break off the top of the valve is there a tip for the pump that supports the whole valve and not just the little threaded part at the top or is there some kind of fitting that will screw on the weak presta valve to give it more support when filling the tire thanks
Nice one mate!
I have Presta in the front and Shrader in the rear. I'm an auto detailer and have the larger Ryobi pump with the adaptor; I wasn't sure about the screw part. I'm not sure I understand the reason for the difference, although I got the Presta by mistake because it has the numbers my bike's tire does. It's okay though, the tube is fine, just different. I hear they are for higher-end bikes, but mine came from an online sale for $85. Presta met my budget. Should be called "Presto"! Thanks for the tips!
Very cool
Thks, yes helpful.
The adapter is nice, but it won't work with most schrader gauges, so while you can inflate, you can't check your tire pressure. Really shines a light on how having a second standard, even if slightly more "user friendly", is ultimately quite hostile by the simple fact that it is a second, slightly different standard, requiring adapters and sometimes two of the same tool. If you have a choice, always get schrader valves on your bike. It'll make your life a lot easier.
I’ve a specialised bike with presta- apart from the video above can I get the bike shop/ diy put new tubes in that are shrader?
It’s the Apple way: make proprietary tech that forces the end user to buy or die.
Awesome
Here's a question: with this adapter, I can't get the compressor hose end, that you attach to the valve stem, to actually release air and pump the tire...? In past, I've recognized that there is a small valve tip inside this hose end that must be compressed to allow air to pump. Some of these adapter are 1 mm short for instance, so the valve stem, with the Schrader adapter, are short n therefore do not press the small valve in the end of the compressor hose. I've thrown a tiny little rock in there to make up for that difference. Where that has worked, today, it, didn't? I went by 2 gas stations and Costco tire garage...nada. Could not get the air to go in. By way, I'm trying to bead my tide onto my rim. So i need that large surge of air...today, I couldn't even get the air to come out at all. Nada. There must be something I dont understand that these gas station type hose ends must have in order to work...and all 4 of my different adapters weren't compatible. Any ideas?
Thanks, I have been wanting to switch to Schrader and now I don't have to pay a lot more.
Regulating pressure on schrader valves is very simple. If your finger nail can't do it the valve cap is designed to depress valve. What other reasons might Presta be better than Schrader? I can't see any. They are a bigger PITA to use IMHO.
Good information. Good to hear from somebody who is pro Schrader. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
I feel like the presta valves are very delicate, I leave my schrader adapters on.
