Is the inflation head Schrader or Presta? Thank you.

The pump head fits both. It has 2 valve holes, and automatically switches to the one in use when you clamp it on the valve.

It is "dual" headed...there is a "hole" for Schrader and a "hole" for presta.

Presta Valve. Also do note: I'm using 700x28 tires and they are snug. Sheldon Brown chart shows a 28 as the smallest possible but I think you could get away with a 25.

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

With the old fashioned schraeder valve, you remove the stem and squeeze enough green stuff in to completely coat the insides of the tube -- don't overload the tube. With a 26 inch Presta valve, you buy ready made tubes with the green stuff factory loaded. For big road/race tires, you can't use the product at all because of the high pressures, which would blow out all the green before the hole could congeal and seal. With 29er mountain bikes, you can't buy ready made and preloaded tubes, so you have to make a cut in the tube, load though the cut, and then use a standard patch kit to seal the cut you have made. ~Keith With the old fashioned schraeder valve, you remove the stem and squeeze enough green stuff in to completely coat the insides of the tube -- don't overload the tube.

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

I bought these for my son, so I have no first hand knowledge. Jusr asked him...he says the valve is Presta.

Unless they have changed the design, you need a presta pump, or a combination pump (both presta and shrader in one pump.) I suggest you invest in a nice pump as we broke ours after one day of rocket launches. You may want to try a shrader pump with a presta adapter, since the cheaper combo ones can fail under pressure, at least in my experience.

Both. It comes drilled for schrader and has plastic inserts for presta. So your sorted whichever way you go. Btw I run presta whith narrow road tyres and schrader when I hit the trails equipped with knobbly's.

I'm sure it is because they do not want us to over-inflate the boat.Over-inflation will stretch the material and weaken the craft. Use your own judgement and have fun.

The valve at the end of the tubing can be reversed for either presta (road tubes) or schrader (some mountain bikes and cars).

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.

Should work as the pump handles both types of tube valves (small - presta and large - schrader). Product description on page - "Alloy valve head for both Schrader and Presta Valves" The manufacturer is pretty good about customer service as they sent me e-mails after my purchase to make sure I was happy with my purchase.

Not quite sure. This is for medium to even heavy duty inflation. I have had it for over 18 months and it works like a gem every time. It may be a little noisey and has to cool down after 10 - 15 minutes of use as recommended but they all do. I don't think there is an inflator out there that is not noisey. All in all a pretty good item for the money. I hope this helps. Cheers in 2014!

Not that I can tell. Mine is for Shrader, and I just use an adapter for presta.

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.

Yes! Dunlop valves have a wider base than a Presta valve, similar in size to a Schrader valve, but it can be inflated with Presta valve side on the end of the hose.

the inflation tube has a cap and on the cap is the part you stick in the tube to deflate it. there is a one way valve in the tube so the cap holds open the valve to deflate it
