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

a Schrader valve is what you're used to; it's on your cars and bikes, normally. The presta valve would normally need an adapter to add air. You can Google images of presta and schrader. I suspect that schrader is what you would want.

Just installed another set of these on an old 3x7 speed touring bike. I drilled them out for Schrader valve. Used a 21/64" or .328" bit. Dipped the tip of bit into oil before drilling. Used moderate speed. Cleaned off resulting burrs & metal flakes. Installed 10mm rim tape. Installed Sunlite 700X20-25, 27X1 Schrader Valve Thorn Resistant Tubes m# 63134. Installed Avenir Discovery 27X1-1/8" 90 psi tires. Everything looks kick ass. Gonna go ride this bike around Stone Mountain about three times tomorrow. Only worry: these are cheap rims. They have a distinctive 90 degree construction joint covered over by the LP18 sticker. Not welded. Looks like epoxy cement connection. Used these rims before. No problems so far.

It measures in Kp's and lbs pressure. it should work with anything with a standard Schrader valve.

They are different. I like the old sipsters better, but still a good product. No leaks!! It has a different internal valve.

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.

Not sure I can answer that question. I purchased a Hot and Cold valve. They are different part numbers and have a blue or red dot on them. If you are using for another application, I will say they looked to be made from the same materials.

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.

No difference that I am aware of other than instead of red flexible tubing its yellow. I personally have the red one. Works great, I get compliments everytime I ride.

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

Not at first. After connecting a few times to the same valve stem it leaked unless you move it around to get a better fit, straight on. I finally replaced it with an air line quick disconnect that connects directly to the air line on my air tank. I don't use the schraeder valve on the tank any more.

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.

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

Hi, I don't know the difference, but I wanted to pass along that the Secura that I bought died after 1 yr. And there was rust build up in the inner holding tank.

Sorry, but the two answers to this are incorrect. the only difference between the two valves is in the plate where the cable mounts. the 74828 has a notch in it for a specific mounting application. They are BOTH 5/8" male, non bypass, pull to open valves.

I don't know but I have used it twice so far to change the schrader valve cores on 2 air conditioning units that have a high pressure rating of 300 psi and it worked great. It has low-loss fittings on it for sure.

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.
