They're like belly buttons, one's an inny and one's an outie.
oh man until i saw the disc brake road bike i thought this was a video from the 90s.
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 😂
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.
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!
I accidentally bought the wrong inner tube and was confused about the presta valve. This was so helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much know i understand alotas better thanks
Such a great and thorough explanation video of the different valves; thank you!!!
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
Thank you very helpful 👍
My favorite is when morons try and claim presta valves hold more pressure
Presta is for cool guys. Schrader is for dweebs
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
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.
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.
