What kind of bike tube valve can be used? Presta? or Schraeder?

Presta. To use Schrader you would need to drill out the hole bigger but i wouldn't recommend it.

I use tubes with a Presta valve, but the valve hole is plenty large and there should be no problem using a tube with a Schrader valve.

Either presta or Schrader will work perfectly with this rim. The only thing you should worry about when it comes to Schrader or presta is if you have a pump that will fit.

The wheel allows for both presta and schraeder valves. I'm currently running a presta on mine.

I used presta for this wheel, the hole on the wheel is to small for a schrader.

This compressor will work with Schrader valves fine, but will not work with Presta. The blue nozzle will go over the lock nut of the Presta valve. but will not go over the body and seal against the body of the Presta valve. If you purchase a Presta adapter to fit in the Schrader end of this compressor hose, then this compressor will work with Presta.

The adapter is under the dust cap. One way for Presta and the other for Schrader. The gear2u website has pdf and YouTube video links that show you how to use the adapter.

Works best on a standard (Schrader) valve. The cap has a little tool built in to take the valve stem out and it is very easy to do. Presta valve stems are a little harder to do because you need an adapter (about $3 at Sports Authority) on it to pump the slime into the tube but is very do-able.

Yes, you can switch back and forth between schraeder and presta valves. Just unscrew the headpiece and flip the inside housing. I do it all the time and one reason I like the pump.

Schrader valves are just like the valves on most bike or vehicle tires: u should be able to fill it at home or the coin-op tire pressure things @ most gas stations!

It is a schrader valve. I ordered it thinking that it was a presta but had to return it! Disappointing.

If you have a schrader valve on your bicycle, it should work. Definitely will not work on presta valves.

you can put tubes containing either presta or schroder valves in these tires

The pump works with either Schrader or Presta valves so if your bike has one of those two type valves then it will work. My car has the Schrader and it works fine for that. The only thing to keep in mind is the release works the opposite of every other pump I have used. You clamp onto the valve with the stem in the 90-degree position and then rotate the handle UP to the 180-degree position to lock it onto the valve.

Hi Mark, for a presta valve, you need to buy a presta attachment. You should be able to pick these up at any sporting goods store. They are cheap and screw right on and convert it to a schrader valve. Presta Adapter

Long answer short: Yes it works with Schrader valves. The adapter is built in. I think when you take it out of the box it is set up for Schrader valves. You can switch it to Presta by flipping the gray piece where the valve stem goes in. The Topeak website has a video showing how to change it.

No, you have to buy an adaptor from a bicycle shop to use any kind of a valve head. you screw the adaptor on to the Presta valve to make it work.

I have a little brass adapter. Screws on Presta then a Schrader gauge fits. Some bicycle pedals have a male screw this adapter fits on so you can use Schrader pumps. Happy Trails

It fits the older type bicycle valves, automotive tire valves etc., but not the newer, smaller type bicycle tires (Presta valves) unless you use the adapter designed to allow the holder to clip on. The adapter is available in many variations such as one with a key chain hook.

Yes, it will work with both Presta (skinny) and Schrader (fat - like on kids bikes) valves.

Yes will work on both presta and schrader valves. Does not screw on - just a press fit.
