Presta valve question

They do not come in handy until you need to change a flat on the road. Then if you are using a pump, they really help hold the stem in place while you are trying to pump up a totally flat innertube!

I usually don't have them on my bikes, but I usually do carry one in with my tire changing equipment. Screw it on when I am pumping if I am using a hand pump.

Ohhh, good tip, thank you Spokewench!
