how do you use this with a presta valve?

frame pump comes with dual holes for two different valves. Put the valve into the correct hole, lock lever and pump.

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

No, you should not drill out the hole to fit a Schrader valve. Where the hole is drilled for the valve is the weakest part of the rim, and drilling out would almost guarantee failure. The whole point of presta valves is that they are smaller diameter and can do with a smaller hole, leave more metal, and do with a narrower and lighter rim. If these were made of steel, I would say that it might be possible, but they are an aluminum alloy. I bought these and was tempted to drill them out since I didn't have presta valve inner tubes on hand, and I'm glad I didn't. I ordered thick puncture resistant presta valve inner tubes and put Continental Gatorhardshell tires on them, and I haven't had any problems at all with this combination after about 1000 miles.

It does not come with the presta valve adapter so you would need to get one.

I use about a tablespoon in my water reservoir. I then run it through my steam wand until all the solution is through. Then I put fresh water in and run that all the way through. It does the trick for my super automatic Saeco.

Had the same problem when I got it, not knowing how to change it to work on a Presta valve. The pump works for standard inner tubes when it arrives, so you need to change the adapter on the end to work for Presta valves. It is really easy to do. You can remove the cap, and just flip over the little plastic piece that accepts the valve stem. If you can't figure it out, visit the manufacturer's website - they have very clear instructions on how to do this.

Put it on the valve while the lever is in the down position. Pulling it up is what locks in place. Took me a minute to figure that out as it's opposite to every other pump out there.

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

Great question - here's the answer: The "valves" are included - they are hidden in the pump head assembly. This Topeak (Road Morph) has a head assembly that does NOT automatically adapt to the tire valves (Presta or Schrader) - instead the user has to do some manual adjustment. What manual adjustment you ask? Well, my Topeak shipped with the pump head set for presta valve. I quickly discovered my tire valves were schrader, and not compatible with the pump. After some googling and head-scratching and looking at the diagram on the packaging, I finally figured it out DOH. Gently unscrew and take off the little metal cap on top of the pump head (tip). Then gently pull out the black rubber piece inside. For the Schrader, make sure the larger opening is facing outward, and the small opening is facing the needle inside the pump head. Having thus flipped it, push the black piece back into the head. Finally Screw the cap back on - and presto ;) you have a Schrader compatible pump head.

Not sure what a presta valve is. But these are threaded like what is found on an automobile tire or any kids bicycle. Hope this helps.

You switch around the internal pieces... In my experience it works much better for schrader... Presta is kinda funny on this pump... I returned this item.

Greetings, the valve stem length is just less than 1 1/2" on both the schrader & the presto valves. I suggest you stick with the reg. tube. The thorn resistant tube seems to always fail at the valve stem base . Just my experience .

No. I put a schrader valve adapter on my road bike's presta valve and the gauge wasn't able to read the pressure.

The bike has presta valve inner tubes so i would suggest any air pump that has presta valve or you can buy a little adapter for shrader valve that cost maybe $5.

Yes, you do remove the valve stem, add the Slime then reinstall. Only issue I had with the product thus far is negligible - my bicycles have presta valves (different than your regular car tire valve). Presta valves can leak if they are clogged with Slime - happened to me, but spun the wheel until the valve was at the top then let some air out and filled with air again. No further issues at all.

It's called a presta valve. I bought a hand pump from walmart that's interchangeable between the two types. It was like 20 bucks. I bet Amazon sells them.

No but it can easily be modified to fill Presta Valves.See my comment below.
