  1. Great video. These valves are new to me and I keep popping out my cores when I inflate the tires… I broke them twice already. This showed me how I was messing it up by accident. Doesn't help that I can't see these tiny things especially the threading… But that's my vision getting worse 😂

  2. Nice video Dave! I also like your gun channel and have subscribed to both 🙂. How do you carry while riding bikes? Like you, I enjoy both bikes & guns.

  3. Excellent video! Very informative and easy to understand. I grew up only knowing one type of valve (Schrader) on my pedal bikes, 10 speeds, mountain bikes, motorcycles, cars and trucks. I can't count the number of times I had to pull into a gas station for a leaky tire. I didn't even know there was a different type of valve out there until I recently bought an e-bike. Thanks for enlightening us!

  4. I recently purchased a used bike and didn’t realize till after the purchase that the front tire has a presta valve and the rear has a schrader valve, I guess that’s what I get for bike shopping on Facebook marketplace lol

  5. Bought a bike second hand. I didn't know about the Presta locknut. Now I can fill my tires! Thank you. Showing the inner workings of the valves was great

  6. Stupid presta valves on by bike. I prefer Schrader valves. Much easy to find a place to inflate the tyre. Presta just makes you work out with the manual pump. Hate it.

  7. Mine is so deflated I can’t get any air into the presta valve. Any tricks for that issue? Pump worked on a different bike.
