Honestly the presta valve is the most dumbest invention.

[@wakaphwap]

presta valves are dumb af

[@GaryT85.]

Nice vid - straight to the point, very clearly explained. Thanks 👍🏻

[@nengahbingin2653]

Thank you, as I’m a novice and this is really useful 👍👍👍

[@ballyantonia]

Very nice video. No music,great close up no self aggrandizing cutsie ‘hey dude’ whatsup cool hand gestures,no background theatrical movie sets. 👍

[@Indigowaves2]

This was incredibly helpful, thank you.

[@kimbaptempura4073]

He forgot to mention, without the adapter using ANY pump, even Presta is a FUCKING HELLISH NIGHTMARE! You can spend over an hour and have slight chance of actually pumping up your tire or, more likely just be enraged with a wholly flat tire.

[@minhuang8848]

what are you even talking about

[@floridaredneck]

Well, I was stupid, now I'm not. I ordered a Presta valve tube for my thrift store bike because it was cheap (the bike and the tube). That was a surprise to find the valve different. I'm an auto detailer, so I have a good portable air pump and had the attachment, I just didn't know how to use it. You know, that's what the Wicked Witch told Dorothy about those shoes! Now I know what she meant!

simple and straight to the point, no bullsh1t intro and information, thanks

[@Tim.Collado]

Thank you very much for this video. Im using a regular valve for my MTB. Now that ive got a road bike, i dont know how to pump them using the adapter. But now I know. Thanks again!

[@Brxchu]

A dollar 3 years ago is 300 dollars today when adjusted for inflation

Tire pressure for Aventon soltera 2

[@BikeRidecom]

The Soltera.2 should have 700X38c tires; they can be inflated to a max of 80 PSI with tubes and 60 PSI tubeless. Max tire pressure should be displayed on the sidewall of the tire.

Wtf I think my ass typed that. Sorry

[@jaybloomfield5082]

No problem...I've done a lot worse.

[@austinhaynes5418]

Twist to open the presta... no wonder I couldn't pump up my new tire...

[@MishMash-gn1fu]

Straight to the point. Thank you very much. :) This saved me.

[@sjanzeir]

Why not just leave the adapter on the valve?

[@owlman9297]

Can you not leave the adapter in place .

[@hdi1200]

It never occurred to me that I was supposed to take the Schrader adapters off. They’ve been on my bike for five years.🙂

[@zhongyi7211]

Most concise video on Presta. Thanks.

[@kidthatdiddddd]

It's not working

[@kidthatdiddddd]

Nevermind i missed the top nut part

[@TheLunnyBear]

My dumb ass was leaving the adapter on and not understanding why the tyre would deflate. Thank you.

[@BikeRidecom]

Happens to the best of us!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@captainzappbrannagan]

Very clear and informative. Thanks!

[@GOODNESS-sp4hm]

Excellent presentation 👍🙏

[@pierregauthier9254]

I had trouble getting my adapter on....this helped thanks a million......no one says that anymore do they? thanx yo

[@Fredengle]

well my question is If I dont like presta valve could I not just leave the adapter on there and use a standard tire valve cap ? thoughts please thank you!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Good question. Don’t see why not but you would need an adapter for each tire you want to keep it on. At least they are cheap.

Funny story. I have seen the presta Valve on bicycles before. at the time i didn't know what it was called. I just knew that I couldn't put a new cap on it. I have plenty of the schrader caps but none of the presta. the funny part of this is. I just got a new battery air pump. and one of the included adapters was the presta adapter. so i went searching online on what it was for and found your video. and now i know what that small valve is called LOL

[@mypandabear50344]

Thanks for this video. Finally got all the information i was looking for regarding the use of the adapter.

[@mangeshsaroj]

Helpful!

[@peterhunter7133]

Wonderful simple and powerful instructions thank you; all day hunt on the internet got me to you great!

[@healthychick9450]

I hear this as SCHRADER BRAU...Thanks Breaking Bad

[@patrykskill306]

Will this make it easier to pump up than a presta valve because you have to hold it tight for it to pump up does the valve adapter prevent this?

[@Day_0ne]

Nice, I want to pump up my tires with the compressor at work and was wondering about these adapters.

[@eurosoe]

so helpful. I have one of these on my rear wheel and have tried to fill it up all spring with no luck. I finally have a full tire and expect my stats to be much better now thanks to this video

[@chistovmaxim]

thank you for these clear instructions!

[@DJJPlus4]

At 1:44, he mentioned to finger tighten the "lock nut" once the tire is fully inflated. This advice is absolutely wrong! This nut is typically called a jam nut. It's only purpose is to prevent the tube from sinking down into the tire as you inflate the tube. Once there is enough air in the tube to prevent it from sinking, the jam nut should be removed. Leaving that nut on a high pressure tube could certainly damage the tube over time, by literally pulling the valve away from the tube.

[@giovannilorenzo2061]

Really?. Where did you get that from?.
