How do you switch the pump from Schrader-valve use to Presta-valve use? Were any instructions supposed to come with the pump?

you have to unscrew the nozzle and flip the connector/seals upside down, re-insert and re-tighten. See the image of the instructions on the product page product images.

On the description tab is noted that it has it has a valve chamber of 8,5 mm. (with a comma maybe a typo or they just copied and paste from the Mavic.com site) Usually a Schrader valve is 8 mm and the presta about 6 mm, I bought the same wheelset and I have a tubeless setup in them using a Stan's no tubes "presta" valves with no problems to speak of, So I would say BOTH as well. HTH.

The switch assembly from the old pump is replaced by this new one .. Its an easy install (getting the old one off was a little tough), but its just the switch itself, and not a motor or a pump. I had determined that the pressure switch on my Sureflo had failed but that the pump and motor were still working. Replaced the pressure switch, and Walla ! .... Works like a charm.

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

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

Yes! My husband did it without any problems. Have to make sure the valves are closed. He used our old hookup a first then changed over to the ones that came with the new pump. Search Amazin a little, we got our pump for only $160. I was just searching and found it. Good luck.

Schraeder was fine. It would not lock onto a Presta valve - even with the adapter. I returned it.

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.

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.

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

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.

The bike's tube has Schrader type of valve. So you will need a pump with adapter for Schrader type.

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.

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.

1st and foremost! Remove all power supply to the pump. If it is grounded to the body of the pump you become the ground! You will have to remove the pump from the pit and replace the switch. You can replace it while its in the pit but it is easier to pull the pump out and have a bench to work on it and do it right. Check and make sure the rubber boot on the switch seals properly. You will need to make sure that after installing the new switch that it is water tight. If not, it will fail again. I hope this helps. If you have any problems please feel free to contact me.

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

This fits a Schrader valve. Most bikes have a Presta valve. If your bike valve has a small metal lock nut which needs to be unscrewed it is a Presta valve. This pump will not work. If your bike valve looks like your car valves, it is a Schrader valve. Then this pump will work fine.
