Who in their right mind thought of using these god awful valves on bike tyres. Flimsy as feck. Just tried to pump up the tyres on my hybrid bike and managed to feck the valve and now flat as a pancake Cry

Never had a problem with the Presta type.

Confused Schrader are more sturdy than Presta - fatter and only piece.  On the other hand Presta are easier to pump (my mum says it's always easier to blow a skinny one than a fat one)

Yes you are right mate. I got the two mixed up. Presta is the basteward Cry

As it happens, I had the two mixed up also, and the problem with the Presta is if you don't pull off the adaptor cleanly,
it is easy to break the flimsy valve!
