Is this a presta valve on the 26x 1.75-2.125 size? I do not want the schrader valve, but do not see the valve on that size tube.

Above where you choose the tire size you can choose one of two "colors" The first "color" is Shraeder, the second "color" choice is Presta. After choosing your "color" choose your size. Since the size you want is available for both valve types, be careful. :)

Greetings, the valve stem length is just less than 1 1/2" on both the schrader & the presto valves. I suggest you stick with the reg. tube. The thorn resistant tube seems to always fail at the valve stem base . Just my experience .

I had a 715 original valve, and replaced it. I did a lot of searching trying to find out if it would work, it did. Make sure you order the proper sizes.

They "could" be drilled for Schrader, but the rims might bend/fail in that weak spot after a while. You'd have to test it yourself. Instead, maybe buy some adapters, and a box of presta tubes: Slime 23042 Presta to Schrader Valve Adapter -- just leave the adapters on the valves all the time.

Then this won't work for you. From the tube up to the base (bottom) thread, it is 25mm. From the tube to the opposite end of the valve (in other words, the entire length of the valve) is only 33mm.

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.

Had the same problem when I got it, not knowing how to change it to work on a Presta valve. The pump works for standard inner tubes when it arrives, so you need to change the adapter on the end to work for Presta valves. It is really easy to do. You can remove the cap, and just flip over the little plastic piece that accepts the valve stem. If you can't figure it out, visit the manufacturer's website - they have very clear instructions on how to do this.

I use a 26 x 1.95 to 2.25 generic tubes with no issue. Larger tubes are not nessasary and heavier.

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.

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.

yes, because tires tubes are stretchy they will this should work for you the big deal is the schrader versus presta valve; this tube has a schrader valve.

I don't know what the cc is for but on the box itself it says 26x1.75 - 26x2.5 so it should fit your wheel just fine. But you should also check (if you haven't already)if your current tube has presta or schrader valve.

yes, has a Presta-size opening. i use schrader tubes so i used a power drill to widen the hole.

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.

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.

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

Make sure the part number matches what you have now. The didn't match mine completely, but it's the same valve and the labeling is upsidedown. I remember the ports, so it doesn't matter.
