Will it work with presta valves?

My husband thinks you are talking about bicycle tires? He is not sure, but does not think so! We LOVE it for the car though!!!!

I do not believe it will function on a Presta type bicycle inner-tube valve stem. The Accutire Gauge has a simple, typical car valve fitting (Schrader) interface. In fact the valve to gauge interface it is the weakest link in the Accutire device. It simply is a flat rubber surface with small metal post protruding out from its center, all being recessed down inside the plastic gauge nose/tip.. So the only airtight seal is your handheld force of than flat rubber surface against the round, cylindrical top of the valve, i.e., typical car valve stem. That rubber surface is prone to weer and deformation over time and use, so that is typically where the gauge deteriorates and so becomes useless (will not seal properly to give accurate, consistent readings).

Yes, you can switch back and forth between schraeder and presta valves. Just unscrew the headpiece and flip the inside housing. I do it all the time and one reason I like the pump.

It should but you would need the little needle to put on the schrader part of the valve.

At first I didn't think Presta worked, because I just reversed the inner rubber adapter. But you also need to reverse the plastic pin piece underneath (that's also hard to get out). Once I reversed both parts, the pump worked fine with my Presta valves. (I had to look this up on the Topeak web site.)

This fits a Schrader valve. Most bikes have a Presta valve. If your bike valve has a small metal lock nut which needs to be unscrewed it is a Presta valve. This pump will not work. If your bike valve looks like your car valves, it is a Schrader valve. Then this pump will work fine.

You can put a presta valve or a regular valve for this tire it is up to you. I use a presta in mine

This will work with any vehicle. Also, The valve is design to be mounted on vehicle with no TPMS. I have no complaint about this product. I have owned 2 different systems in the past (Orange and Vulcan)

I use the longer presta valves. Better for inflating with my particular pump.

I don't believe any conventional air pressure gauge will work on the presta style valve. Even with the adapter there is no way for the gauge to depress the valve stem to allow pressure to release from the tire. Your best bet is to attach a pump that has a pressure gauge attached.

From the pump description provided via Amazon: "....to configure the pump head for either Presta or Schrader valve stems...." You will find specific directions on the manufacturer's Geared2U website.

I don't know if it will work with your valve, but it didn't work with my delta valve. It was a waste of money because the handle never fit properly on the valve. I wound up buying a genuine delta trim kit.

I have a little brass adapter. Screws on Presta then a Schrader gauge fits. Some bicycle pedals have a male screw this adapter fits on so you can use Schrader pumps. Happy Trails

Schrader are the valves that I use them on.....the bicycles and the car....but will fit presta with a adaptor

Yes it does work with any delta valve. Installed in on a shower only delta faucet .

Presta adapters don't go into the head far enough to open the valve. I'm trying to find a solution myself as well!

It doesn't come with the needle. It is only designed for presta and Schrader valves.If you have a needle adapter already, then yes.

It does not, you would need a schrader to presta valve adapter for the pump to clamp onto. It is available for under two dollars.
