Does it work only with Schrader valves? Can it work with the Presta valves that are common on speed bikes?

Not totally sure of the valve name/type. However, I can say the same standard attachment by itself (to which the others attach) works on both car tires and my normal bike tires. I hope that helps you make a decision about your speed bike.

This particular model had presta valves and the stems were threaded. I've also bought them for schrader valves and the stems were smooth.

I think schrader valves are standard in most wheels, however the thickness well be slightly different, this well be overcome due to the flexibility of the aluminium stem of the VDO sensor

The easiest thing to do for presta valves is to just get the cheap adapters that fit over the valve. These work fine and you don't have to modify the pump, which you may want to use for car tires also. Presta Adapter

This compressor will work with Schrader valves fine, but will not work with Presta. The blue nozzle will go over the lock nut of the Presta valve. but will not go over the body and seal against the body of the Presta valve. If you purchase a Presta adapter to fit in the Schrader end of this compressor hose, then this compressor will work with Presta.

Great question - here's the answer: The "valves" are included - they are hidden in the pump head assembly. This Topeak (Road Morph) has a head assembly that does NOT automatically adapt to the tire valves (Presta or Schrader) - instead the user has to do some manual adjustment. What manual adjustment you ask? Well, my Topeak shipped with the pump head set for presta valve. I quickly discovered my tire valves were schrader, and not compatible with the pump. After some googling and head-scratching and looking at the diagram on the packaging, I finally figured it out DOH. Gently unscrew and take off the little metal cap on top of the pump head (tip). Then gently pull out the black rubber piece inside. For the Schrader, make sure the larger opening is facing outward, and the small opening is facing the needle inside the pump head. Having thus flipped it, push the black piece back into the head. Finally Screw the cap back on - and presto ;) you have a Schrader compatible pump head.

The short answer is "I don't know". But, Presta valves are found mostly on bicycles and if you are considering carrying this gauge in your bicycle tool kit I'd vote against it simply because it is heavy. It is probably the best tire guage you can buy, but it is big and heavy, in bicycle terms.

It will work for bicycle tires. I don't think it will work on anything without a Schrader valve like a car, motorcycle, or bicycle. There is no needle adapter. I always used a hand pump for atheLetic eq.

No, you should not drill out the hole to fit a Schrader valve. Where the hole is drilled for the valve is the weakest part of the rim, and drilling out would almost guarantee failure. The whole point of presta valves is that they are smaller diameter and can do with a smaller hole, leave more metal, and do with a narrower and lighter rim. If these were made of steel, I would say that it might be possible, but they are an aluminum alloy. I bought these and was tempted to drill them out since I didn't have presta valve inner tubes on hand, and I'm glad I didn't. I ordered thick puncture resistant presta valve inner tubes and put Continental Gatorhardshell tires on them, and I haven't had any problems at all with this combination after about 1000 miles.

No. I put a schrader valve adapter on my road bike's presta valve and the gauge wasn't able to read the pressure.

It fits all standard valve stems. If you can use a standard air chuck it will work. As far as I know bicycle valve stems are the same diameter size as automotive.

Yes. This pump works great on the grand kid's bikes and any other standard valve stem found on pneumatic wheels on riding mowers, hand trucks etc. And it's easy. Just remember you place it over the stem with the lever down then lift it up to seal it for pumping.

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.)

Yes. It says so in the title of the item. Make sure your rim and the valve type are compatible (Schraeder vs. Presta).

No, it is a clip on chuck for schrader valves only. It would work if you put an adaptor on the presta stem.

Yes, it does both Presta and Schraeder valve stems.. You would use the Schraeder valve for the inflation needle.

I assume you mean presta valves vs. schrader valves (shrader=standard car tire valve). It adapts to both - the head unscrews and you can flip the bits inside to make it compatible with either valve type.
