How To Pump A Presta Valve

Рет қаралды 793,347

Күн бұрын

When it comes to cycle maintenance, one of the maintenance tasks that is most likely to arise is pumping up a bicycle tyre. This is down to the fact that regardless of how well you take care of your bike, with time and use, the pressure in your tyre goes down. This means at some point you will need to pump the tyres up. In this video we take a look at how to pump up a Presta valve.
Some tyres can be more difficult to pump than others, the Presta valve is commonly known for being a bit of a nuisance. Hopefully after watching our video you will know how to pump up a Presta valve minus the stress.
Thanks for watching. You can also read our guide on how to pump up a Presta valve which covers setting up your pump for a Presta valve and the steps involved in pumping your tyre up.

That's awesome! Several years ago I bought an inner tube and didn't realize it had a presta valve. I didn't even know how to pump it with air! I hated it. I just bought a used carbon gravel bike and it had a presta valve. I had to buy presta-to-schrader adapter and pumped up the tires. I really didn't have to buy that adapter because I didn't know two of my pumps had this feature where you reverse the rubber and fitting like you demonstrated in the video. THIS IS A LIFESAVER!!! THANK YOU!

Same thing with me. Was going to buy a new pump because my new bike has presta valves. All of my old bikes had schrader valves. I pulled out my super old park tools pump and discovered it could be converted like in the video. Good stuff.

Me four 🤣 I've had an irrational avoidance to presta but just got some holy rollers and the 2.5 tubes only came with presta. I have a little drawer full of adapters and connextors but none of them worked. Turns out I also have two pumps with this feature, a min i and a large so am so thankful to find this video, learn something, get over my phobia (actually a pretty good system once you use it), and save some bucks spending in stuff I really don't need. A guage would be nice, now I can afford one. Happy days, thanks again 😉👍

Spent more time than I’m willing to admit trying to figure out why my pump wasn’t working. I thought the tyres had green goo in them or that something was dead wrong with my bike, but it turned out I had to unscrew the miserable brass washers first to get the pump to work. Brilliant video, I can’t thank you enough.

@PizzaMakerNSW Жыл бұрын

As a professional cyclist for 20 years, I can provide a couple of suggestions. In addition to this video. 1. Rotate the wheel so the valve is directly centre on the ground. Inflate the tube closet to the ground as opposite to what is shown in the video. It stresses the cord less and as gravity is working in your favour it doesn’t encourage air to escape as quick. 2. Inflate slightly over your desired PSI limit, when you disconnect the valve it releases some air and a few psi over compensates for this.

@cyclemaintenanceacademy Жыл бұрын

Hey Peter, thanks a lot for taking the time to comment and sharing your pro cyclist wisdom with us and the other viewers. Your ideas about rotating the wheel so the valve is in the centre and inflating the tube that's closest to the ground totally make sense. And that tip about slightly overinflating the tyre to compensate for the air release when disconnecting the valve is clever too. To be honest, though, in the context of our video, the overall difference these suggestions make might be negligible. But hey, I love hearing different perspectives, and I'm sure that these suggestions will be useful to some of our pro cyclist viewers. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you keep enjoying our content!🙂

This video is incredibly descriptive and slow enough that I didn't need to rewind or pause at anytime. Not that inflating the tire is difficult but there are a few steps like turning the internal adapter around. I ended up reading some article written by a third grade level thinker about how there's different valves but they didn't demonstrate how to actually inflate the presta valve. They actually made some really burnt out half a brain cell comment about how if you don't put the cap back on the Schrader valve that somehow your air is going to leak out after 300 yards. That's when I closed that browser and found your video which was a billion times better than that junk article

Your well-edited visuals, paired with the concise and calm narrative, kept THIS nervous novice to bicycle maintenance from pitching, a fit…AND its brand-new mini-pump (which had been promoted as having a head whose internals needed NO reversal to accept either type). I had broken three small, fragile teeth at the very center, which must have been the “universal” feature. EVERYTHING you illustrated matched with what I discovered about my pump when I followed your directions. Your observations and tips regarding the Presta valve, and the attachment/detachment of the pump were very much relevant and appreciated. I will definitely be exploring more of your content. I have ridden for decades, but never had the confidence to work on my bikes myself. Realistically, I won’t be… I will be using your channel’s guidance, and you can be sure I will recommend your channel to so many friends that share my ignorance. THANK you.

Wish I knew about this flip when I got a flat this morning several miles from home.

I wound up calling my wife to bring me the “real” bike pump, and pumped the replacement tube with the adapter in no time. Presta is a perfect example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I’m sticking with the adapter.

A simple technique that I never was taught but always expected to know. I’ve been yelled at for asking to use someone’s pump and then trying to get it to work but they felt that was inappropriate. YT asked how I liked your video so I said it was life changing with five stars, I liked and subbed so hopefully more people will see your video over others. The first suggestion was sooo annoying and awful. I was thrilled to find your video second, but wish it was the first suggestion. Cheers💛

Hey, thanks for the comment and I'm pleased that you like what we do🙂. Always good to hear that our video was helpful. I think you're in the majority regarding presta valves. The advntages and disadvantages between presta and schrader valves are debatable, however Schrader have one major advantage: it's easier to use. I think over the time we will see less and less of presta.
