Presta Valve Adapter Hack... The right way!

Рет қаралды 311,518

Күн бұрын

Most road bikes have a Presta Valve which don't fit most bike pumps, and its easy to lose the small brass adapter.
Make an adapter in minutes: Remove a cap, nip the tip, drill out the tip 3/16 / 4.5mm, or... waller' it out with whatever low tech machinery you have available. Flip it and thread it on backwards. Presto! Pump up any Presta with any standard Bike Tube Pump!
FOLLOW P.S.I. RATINGS ON YOUR TIRES
The racing tires shown require 70+ psi while most standard tubes/tires read 35 psi max.
This hack can be done with almost any soft plastic or stiff rubber tubing cut to 3/8-1/2" length (10-12mm) that has similar diameters near 5/16 O.D. and 3/16 I.D.... Cheers 🍻

Been in the bike industry since 67, and have never seen this hack. There were a few times I could have used it, Great Work! PS, I love a comment you got saying hey just buy some adaptors? They don't seem to understand that this is a hack if you are out somewhere and there are no bike shops or stores that sell adaptors, this hack can save you... But oh well, they think a little differently if you know what I mean... Ha ha ha ha

The little adapters get lost so easily. And they aren't available at big chain stores, only local bike shops. I learned it working and bicycle shops, tricks of the trade!

Thank you man. I just got a lift to go get a new tube for my bike, which is an odd size and didn't even know these things existed. I got home to put in the tube and thought "what kind of messed up manufacturing error is this" only to find that I am once again stuck in the middle of nowhere unable to get my bike back on the road. Ilk be implementing this hack today, and hopefully report back the success of this hack. Life saver dude! I'm 4 miles from town, and 20 from anywhere that sells a tube, much less any idea if an adapter is available.

Update. It works... kinda at least. I don't own a Guage I can check pressure on this thing with, and that's saying something. Ive got probably 10k in my tools here, been a mechanic all of my adult life, and have never even heard of a presta valve until today

@altern8tive 3 жыл бұрын

cool hack for emergencies, I'd never consider screwing it on backwards 👍🏻re: tire pressures, should never exceed rim specification. if a tire indicates 120psi but the rim is only good for 100 psi you inflate to rim pressure.
