Ever get a flat on your MTB? Easy to fix and expected, but the other day I found myself trail side with a flat and no way to put air in the tire. Sure I could have run over to a gas station and aired up, but with a PRESTA VALVE your out of luck.
Get a little adaptor and drop it in your saddle bag and never worry again. I bought mine at Amazon here's the link to the Mobi Adaptor... amzn.to/34NjIYz

Just discovered presta valves today. Completely stupid, schrader valves are universal and everywhere. Worked fine for 100+ years. Now ya need an new adapter or a pump, freaking stupid...
2ndAmendmentGlock: Presta valves were created because Shrader valves were too wide to accommodate onto the narrower rims created for road cyclists. Shrader valves created a weaker rim. Presta valves are narrower and leave more metal on rims.
Horses worked fine for 100+ years and now we have other methods of transportation. It's about adapting to changing conditions which, hopefully, improve on previous ideas.
Perhaps you may want to consider the advantages of researching the reasons for change prior to emoting so intensely. Lowers the blood pressure usually.
Agree with you. More of a bother than an improvement regardless of history of narrow rims, since fat tyre cycles and mt. Bikes with larger rims and tyres use them also ..

should rename this video to GET A PUMP OR AN ADAPTER.
For real. Waste of time watching this bs video
nah he showed how to make ur own solution
Thanks for your comment you saved me 4 minutes of useless babble.
I live in the city so, I just walk to a nearby gas station
It's lighter lol
I had that issue today after getting my new tube and used my rubber-tipped air chuck blower. Thanks for the link to get adaptor.
Thank you! Bought a bike this summer with the Presta valves and now I wish I had those adapters in my hand right now! Exactly what I was looking for here. :)
Presta valve should be phased out
Thanks for posting this video! Dummy me couldn't figure out how to pump the tires!
Thanks a lot for this, didn’t realize you needed to loosen the top piece and I was trying to fill it without doubt that🤦🏽♂️
thank for spelling this out! i was about to buy a $30 kit to air up my presta valve tires. time to go to walmart!
Screw the cap on upside down after cutting the end off. The bottom end is just the right size :) hope this help someone
Thank you for posting this video! I bought an air inflator (compressor?) for my car tires that uses power from the cigarette lighter. It came with an adapter for both schrader and presta valves. I will try filling the tires on my bike (presta valves) by following your demo. Thanks again.
Excellent, thanks for the comment. Those little adapters are super cheap I carry one on my bike. Happy Riding 🚴🚴
The trick about the caps actually does work if you need it to lol. I just did it because i didn't have any adapters. Now i can ride to the store to get adapters lol.
This is the exact video I needed
I did this hack and it worked. Not a lot of psi but enough to ride
Excellent, glad it helped.
Awesome. What a life saver. Thank you for making this video.
You got it. You're welcome. Don't mention it. You bet.
It's a courtesy ! 👩🌾
Thanks man. I guess it's the only way. I want to go for a bike ride but I always forget It has presta valves.
Thank you for sharing it helped me.
Hey. Don't mention it.
You cut the cap too short.
It works if you only cut the very end off and push a drill bit or something through so it will screw on to the valve.
You can't check the pressure unless there's a gauge on the inflation nozzle but you can get going again, for sure!
At last the answer i was looking for, Thank you.
Glad I could help 🚴😃😃
Thank you for this Trying to figure out how the hell to do it 😂
I just wanted to say that I liked your video
Thanks!! 🚲
I saw another video sand they cut the cap but, they put the cap on upside down after they cut the cap. I don't know if it works on all presta valves but, it looked like it worked for him.
I just got a bike with Presta valves and I was looking for how to get the gauge on my pump to read the pressure. It doesn't read the pressure until I start pumping it and I am pretty sure it's not accurate because it starts at zeo and only goes to 20 psi on the first pump when there air already in the tire.
I had actually already bought those Presta valve adapters on Amazon and I tried to use them to get a gauge reading but, it didn't read until I pumped it even with the presta valve adapter. I did notice the valve could lock by twisting that one end but, I didn't know if that was supposed to do that until I saw your video. Thanks for showing us that we can loosen it to put air in the tire. I will try to unlock the presta valve and see if I can get a reading.
First thing I thought was he did it upside down
Never seen these valves in my life , cheers for the cutting the valve cap in half , saved me walking home tonight
I'm glad it helped...🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
Thank you Brotha 🤙🏽
You saved my day!
Adapter, great thanks.
grest vid thanks, i will try this hack but with cutting the cap longer
This is just what I needed, thx bro.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I watched one of those hack vids about it. the cap you cut needed to be put on the presta upside down it seems.
Great comment, I'll have to try that out!! Thanks 🚴♂🚴♂
I messed up a few of them.....so frustrating!
First video thanks
Why the heck did they switch to these valves? lol
I couldn't get that adapter trick to work either
I've been gathering up some valve caps to try it again. Stay tuned 🚴🚴
LOL...that adapter works better than the fitting on the bike pump.
I only heard this video, I was looking out my window.
The problem with that adapter is it only screws to the very top thread not the body thread, for people that have tubeless tires....
I have the adaptor but I couldn't fill. Lol
Hi, remember before screwing the adaptor on loosen the little lock on the top of the valve, then give the valve a tap to make sure it's working.
thanks
Tried the same adapter.. Doesn't work in gas station
Really?
You did the Hack completely wrong. You cut the cap to short, as you need to flip the cap after cutting it, so it can screw in and seal it. This video is the proper way: ruclips.net/video/cYCFhz2LWIU/видео.html
I drove around for n hour n couldn't find a place to fill it up presta valve angry
5 minutes and 13 seconds with onne bit of useful information: "get an adapter".
Nice video
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say chef frying pan 👩🍳
Life was easier before presta valves. This is what happens when engineers get bored.
👍🏻💯
thanks for explaining in 5 mins what could have been shown in 30 seconds.
Thanks, I hope it helped 👍
i see
Video could of been done with a screenshot
First 2:10 is content-free.
On croirait qu'il a découvert le marteau a bomber le verre
Didn't work for me.
POS system...tried to pump up tire and all air went out!
Ugh... I hate it when that happens....
The Adapter is a no brainer folks ..No one should purchase a tire with presto valves with out buying an adapter. The Hack here I thought was pure genius UNTIL you said it did not work. Why do you waste people's time ?
B
Stupid idea of changing the valve design. What you need to do is cut the cap with a blade just enough to go in upside down and it does work. Thats what i did and works really good.
Developed for skinny road bike wheels. The smaller hole in the rim makes a stronger wheel. I'm with you though kind of a pain.🚴
No shit dude I wanted diy
Bro seriously. I stoped at watching at 2:20, rest is history
Thanks, hopefully a couple minutes helped👍
Presta valves are the stupidest thing ever
Range77: If you believe that presta valves are the "stupidest thing ever" you must be living quite the protected life.
Presta valves were created because Shrader valves were too wide to accommodate onto the narrower rims created for road cyclists. Shrader valves created a weaker rim. Presta valves are narrower and leave more metal on rims.
@@lazurm because why? You didnt finish your thought and I'm open to hearing your point of view
@@Ranger_k16 My first sentence was a reaction to the thought that you stated in your "stupidest thing ever" post. What I meant was that, since there are MANY stupider things, if you thought that presta valves were the stupidest of all, well, you must be quite sheltered because, after all, there are thousands of things that are far stupider and presta valves aren't stupid at all, for the reason I summarized in my first post to you here. Of course I was taking you literally.
Do you now understand? (Sheesh....)
What a tool.
Perfect I agree!
What's the point, why do they use this garbage
Presta valves were created because Shrader valves were too wide to accommodate onto the narrower rims created for road cyclists. Shrader valves created a weaker rim. Presta valves are narrower and leave more metal on rims.
They are actually better than shrader in that respect.
@@lazurm ok
@@lazurm
Nah, son. That's been debunked.
One of those salior moon girls proved it wrong in the eighties.

You trying to outclass a suave, delectable stallion such as myself ?
HA !!! I was raised in the gallows of fourewt & shemlechk. My skin is even tougher that of a top teir honey badger.
Do your worst, peasant. 🧐
I'm sorry, but presta valves are shite...

@@lazurm you are correct, it's just that one of my kids bike has presta, hence we had to get an adaptor and struggle with that
For professionals, I can see the benefits for sure
Its A Stupid Idea.A Perfect Example of.If it's not broke don't fix it.Pain In The Ass.Making Rocket Science out of Something Simple
Your exactly right 👍
It’s just a stupid valve and makes no sense
dumbest invation ever
Don't SAY stuff like that.
My wife doesn't like seeing mean comments and she might see yours, silly ! You're being SILLY !!
💵🐓🕺🏻
Thanks for nothing! 😊
I understand 🚴♂️🚴♂️
Get to the point already
Exactly...😎
