Your description says that the tube has Presta valve - but the picture on the box shows a Standard - what is right the description or the picture?

Many refer to the CONTINENTAL ULTRA Gatorskin as "Bullet Proof". A layer of Duraskin and an extra layer of Kevlar under the tread keeps flat protection to a maximum". I also just bought SLIME tubes that have a Presta valve - not installed yet. By the way, the Michelin box ad does show a PRESTA valve.

Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush. Turn both the valve and the bush 180 degrees around and re-insert the valve followed by the bush so that the bush has the smaller diameter hole facing outwards to fit onto your smaller Presta valve. Then re-screw on the silver nut, with the dustcap attached, back onto the pump. The pump should now be able to inflate your Presta Valves.If you still are having a problem, have a look on YouTube as there are quite a few video clips on there that show this being done.

Long answer short: Yes it works with Schrader valves. The adapter is built in. I think when you take it out of the box it is set up for Schrader valves. You can switch it to Presta by flipping the gray piece where the valve stem goes in. The Topeak website has a video showing how to change it.

BEATS ME, I SENT MINE BACK. I believe the bite valve was straight, as was the place where the tube exits the cap. 'Believe', not sure. I sent mine back, unused, as the tube was too short to be useable.

I have bikes with both schrader and presta valves. I just have to flip the air valve and it has been working fine. It is a mini pump and using it to fill a full inner tube is a lot of work. But in a pinch, it has been great.

Hi Mark, for a presta valve, you need to buy a presta attachment. You should be able to pick these up at any sporting goods store. They are cheap and screw right on and convert it to a schrader valve. Presta Adapter

Can a SELLER please answer this question??? where are the sellers that want our money? I agree with you: a 700C is supposed to be drilled for Presta, but in the pictures it definitely looks like Schraeder.

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.

presta. At least the same wheel I have that is disc brake ready is set up for presta. I ordered that one on accident and from what I saw, it to was presta valve ready.

Sorry. Don't use a presta valve. But this is a conventional clip-on inflator, so you would likely need an adapter of some sort.

Schrader is built onto the hose. It does not have a presta adapter. Do a web search to determine which type of valve your bike tire or tube uses. You can get schrader to presta adapters at local bike shops for about $2, or here on Amazon.

Yes will work with both, regular bike valves (Schrader) and Presta what most road bike.

Not sure what a presta valve is. But these are threaded like what is found on an automobile tire or any kids bicycle. Hope this helps.

A Schrader valve is the standard valve on inner tubes and car tires. For your bike it is a larger diameter hole on the rim. A presta valve is skinny and has a nut on it to hold the valve tight on the rim. skinny rims like for road bikes and now a lot of mtn bikes use presta valves. I like schraders so I drilled my rim with 1/4 inch bit to accommodate the tubes. Good luck.

Not that I remember. I have a bike with presta valve, I hated them. I will change them to tubes with regular valves.

Its called presta valves, you can either get a pump that can do both presta valves and the normal valves or just get some adapters for your valves to go from presta to the normal ones. They are not hard to find I bought mine at walmart. They just screw over the presta valves.

It is very rare for a company to have a non standard size. Boston valves are 7/8" male. this is the standard for towable tubes and blow up bed mattress.
