In this YouTube Short, we show you how to pump air into a bike tire with a Presta style valve, providing a quick and easy guide for beginners and experienced cyclists alike.

Presta valves are common in many road bikes and higher-end mountain bikes, and they require a slightly different approach to pumping air than Schrader valves. In the video, we demonstrate step-by-step how to use a Presta valve pump, from removing the valve cap to checking the tire pressure.

First, we show how to unscrew the valve cap and how to loosen the valve nut to allow the air to flow into the tire. We then demonstrate how to attach the Presta valve pump to the valve, ensuring a tight seal to prevent any air from escaping.

Next, we show how to pump the air into the tire, using a smooth and consistent motion to avoid overinflating or underinflating the tire. We also explain how to use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure, ensuring that it’s within the recommended range for your bike and riding style.

Throughout the video, we provide helpful tips and tricks, such as how to add or release air in small increments to fine-tune your tire pressure, and how to avoid damaging the Presta valve by applying too much force.

By the end of this YouTube Short, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to pump air into a bike tire with a Presta style valve, ensuring that you can maintain optimal tire pressure and enjoy a smoother and safer ride.

  1. But how to know how much air already in tyre ? Because in the gauge it's starts from 0 even there is already air in tyre so we gonna end up putting more air then the required psi

  2. Wrong you fucked up not tapping the valve twice before adding the pump doing this will let you see if air is releasing also releasing any pressure that would be put onto the air pump if you do this normally what happens what you did was wrong usually it should have been very hard for you to pump air in

  3. Still not getting it. I used to have no problems with my hybrid, but I can’t get them to engage on our BMX bikes. Tried several pumps (manual and electric); we eventually get it, but it’s never a quick fix like it should be. 😬

    It’s multiple bikes, so it has to be us; I just don’t know how to fix that.😂
