It’s been ages since I had a bike, and back then I only remember 1 type of valve. I found this quite helpful.

Thank you! I just bought a new bike after many years with my old bike (over 30). I had never seen the Presta valve before (my old bike had the Schrader valve). I had no idea there was more than one type of valve, or even the names of the different valves! I watched your video and went right down and was able to pump air into my tires. Very helpful for us newbies with Presta valves. I learned about the two different holes on my pump too. I had been wondering about the two different openings on it too.

Is a video really necessary to inflate a bike tire...................

[@SCOOTERETTI]

Hi Paul, the reason why we did the video is that a good percentage of people riding bicycles do not inflate their tires correctly.
