what is the difference in the tube with a regular schrader valve and one with thorn proof schrader valve?

Actually, the valve will be identical - it's the tube itself that is either regular or thorn-resistant. The tube will be a bit heavier (by grams) and thicker. Hope this helps!

thicker rubber and heavier for thorn proof tubes. In thorn proof tubes as the name implies--less likely to get a puncture from thorns or other sharp objects and the stem is more resistant to abrasion and tearing at the stem to tube mating point

You may need to "smash" the part that locks onto the Schrader valve. It is kind of a cheap made tool. Works OK if you only need one occasionally

The answer is yes, but this is not the best choice. There are two types of valves on bike tires. Schrader (like on you car tire) on lower pressure tires, and presta on high pressure tires. Kids bikes usually have schrader valves. So if you set the pump for schrader valves (the gasket is reversible) you can pump up the tire. But this pump is really for lower pressure or emergency use, and doesn't put much air in with each stroke. While you can carry this with you for emergencies, you are better off buying a floor pump. Be sure to push in the center of the valve to release some air and open the seal before you use any pump. The answer is yes, but this is not the best choice.

You switch around the internal pieces... In my experience it works much better for schrader... Presta is kinda funny on this pump... I returned this item.

RORO, I honestly have no idea. After some of the trouble I've caused myself by buying this particular product (only because I should have got tubes with a straight valve stem) I still can't complain about their quality. They still work just like they did when I installed them on my riding lawnmower.

Look at Shurflo website. There is no difference in GPM or pressure setting. Have no idea why there's two different model numbers, but you could ask Shurflo. They should be interchangeable.

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

I think they carry both valve types, but beware, I have gotten many flats with theses tubes. I prefer Mr. Tuffy's.

Av-12 or sv- 12 will fit depending on what valve you want to use. The Schrader valve is fine since max psi is only 65.

It comes with a standard Schrader valve. This extinguisher is identical to most 2.5G PW cans found on fire suppression apparatus.

Yes will work on both presta and schrader valves. Does not screw on - just a press fit.

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

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.

The only difference could be the pipe size. I think they are all standardized...It should be fine.

It's cheaper to buy some adapters than buy a new pumpTo pump up European tires you need to buy a presta-to-schrader valve adapter and screw it onto your dunlop valves. Boom, done. As arbitrarily as the bike industry has handed us theses three valve types to deal with, they have offered up a nice solution: the threads on the presta and dunlop valve are identical. A presta-to-schrader adapter is therefore a dunlop- or presta-to-schrader adapter.

Or you can take it to a good bike shop that will drill out the hole in the rim to accept schrader valve tubes. Prestas are very finicky, delicate and serve no better purpose than a traditional schrader on a mountain bike. People just think they are exotic because they are normally found on more high-end road bikes.

the best answer i can give is a combination of marburg and max d. answer, the tubes should be the of the same type, but the don't have to be "matched"but, "matched" would be optimal , though they usually do cost more for the process of testing, matching
