Just discovered presta valves today. Completely stupid, schrader valves are universal and everywhere. Worked fine for 100+ years. Now ya need an new adapter or a pump, freaking stupid...

Before watching, increase playback speed to 1.75x.

should rename this video to GET A PUMP OR AN ADAPTER.

Thanks a lot for this, didn’t realize you needed to loosen the top piece and I was trying to fill it without doubt that🤦🏽‍♂️

Presta valve should be phased out

Never seen these valves in my life , cheers for the cutting the valve cap in half , saved me walking home tonight

Thank you for posting this video! I bought an air inflator (compressor?) for my car tires that uses power from the cigarette lighter. It came with an adapter for both schrader and presta valves. I will try filling the tires on my bike (presta valves) by following your demo. Thanks again.

Screw the cap on upside down after cutting the end off. The bottom end is just the right size :) hope this help someone

I had that issue today after getting my new tube and used my rubber-tipped air chuck blower. Thanks for the link to get adaptor.

thank for spelling this out! i was about to buy a $30 kit to air up my presta valve tires. time to go to walmart!

This is the exact video I needed

Thanks for posting this video! Dummy me couldn't figure out how to pump the tires!

Thank you! Bought a bike this summer with the Presta valves and now I wish I had those adapters in my hand right now! Exactly what I was looking for here. :)

At last the answer i was looking for, Thank you.

I did this hack and it worked. Not a lot of psi but enough to ride

The trick about the caps actually does work if you need it to lol. I just did it because i didn't have any adapters. Now i can ride to the store to get adapters lol.

You cut the cap too short. It works if you only cut the very end off and push a drill bit or something through so it will screw on to the valve. You can't check the pressure unless there's a gauge on the inflation nozzle but you can get going again, for sure!

I saw another video sand they cut the cap but, they put the cap on upside down after they cut the cap. I don't know if it works on all presta valves but, it looked like it worked for him. I just got a bike with Presta valves and I was looking for how to get the gauge on my pump to read the pressure. It doesn't read the pressure until I start pumping it and I am pretty sure it's not accurate because it starts at zeo and only goes to 20 psi on the first pump when there air already in the tire. I had actually already bought those Presta valve adapters on Amazon and I tried to use them to get a gauge reading but, it didn't read until I pumped it even with the presta valve adapter. I did notice the valve could lock by twisting that one end but, I didn't know if that was supposed to do that until I saw your video. Thanks for showing us that we can loosen it to put air in the tire. I will try to unlock the presta valve and see if I can get a reading.

I watched one of those hack vids about it. the cap you cut needed to be put on the presta upside down it seems.

Why the heck did they switch to these valves? lol

I just wanted to say that I liked your video

Thanks man. I guess it's the only way. I want to go for a bike ride but I always forget It has presta valves.

5 minutes and 13 seconds with onne bit of useful information: "get an adapter".

Awesome. What a life saver. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you for sharing it helped me.

First video thanks

You saved my day!

Life was easier before presta valves. This is what happens when engineers get bored.

I couldn't get that adapter trick to work either

Adapter, great thanks.

Thank you for this Trying to figure out how the hell to do it 😂

grest vid thanks, i will try this hack but with cutting the cap longer

I messed up a few of them.....so frustrating!

Thank you Brotha 🤙🏽

I have the adaptor but I couldn't fill. Lol

LOL...that adapter works better than the fitting on the bike pump.

The problem with that adapter is it only screws to the very top thread not the body thread, for people that have tubeless tires....

Tried the same adapter.. Doesn't work in gas station

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

You did the Hack completely wrong. You cut the cap to short, as you need to flip the cap after cutting it, so it can screw in and seal it. This video is the proper way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb9zecurl7K7eYk.html

This is just what I needed, thx bro.

Didn't work for me.

Video could of been done with a screenshot

I drove around for n hour n couldn't find a place to fill it up presta valve angry

thanks for explaining in 5 mins what could have been shown in 30 seconds.

I only heard this video, I was looking out my window.

First 2:10 is content-free.

The Adapter is a no brainer folks ..No one should purchase a tire with presto valves with out buying an adapter. The Hack here I thought was pure genius UNTIL you said it did not work. Why do you waste people's time ?

POS system...tried to pump up tire and all air went out!

On croirait qu'il a découvert le marteau a bomber le verre

Nice video

Its A Stupid Idea.A Perfect Example of.If it's not broke don't fix it.Pain In The Ass.Making Rocket Science out of Something Simple

👍🏻💯

thanks

Why do they even make these stupid valves???? Whata headache

Bro seriously. I stoped at watching at 2:20, rest is history

What a tool.

Stupid idea of changing the valve design. What you need to do is cut the cap with a blade just enough to go in upside down and it does work. Thats what i did and works really good.

No shit dude I wanted diy

i see

B

Presta valves are the stupidest thing ever

It’s just a stupid valve and makes no sense

What's the point, why do they use this garbage

dumbest invation ever

I'm sorry, but presta valves are shite...

Thanks for nothing! 😊

Get to the point already
