is the pump compatible with presta valves?

No you need an adapter. They're mad cheap though. I got mind under a dollar at my bike shop.

i believe there was an option upon ordering for the type of valve one used. it's good for the price, the separating tools are flimsy, i bought a set on line at same order with the kit, and sure nuff, one of them broke. not uncommon. sorry couldn't help with the pump question any more.

Did not work for me. I am using a pump that goes directly to Dunlop or Schrader, and Presta on the other side.

You may need an adapter. This clips on to Schrader valves very easily. Prestas have the narrow cap, so it may take an adapter or some finagling to get it to work. Ive ran mine on my diesel tires up to 110psi with no issues.

It is a schrader valve. I ordered it thinking that it was a presta but had to return it! Disappointing.

Yes, it is compatible. Vacumaid systems generally have industry standard valves at 1.5" diameter.

No. There are only two types of valves in modern bicycle tubes, Schraeder (like car tires) and Presta. All Schwinn tubes will be one of these two. This pump can be easily used with both types. Just put the valve in the pump hole that fits, lock it on, and pump.

Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush. Turn both the valve and the bush 180 degrees around and re-insert the valve followed by the bush so that the bush has the smaller diameter hole facing outwards to fit onto your smaller Presta valve. Then re-screw on the silver nut, with the dustcap attached, back onto the pump. The pump should now be able to inflate your Presta Valves.If you still are having a problem, have a look on YouTube as there are quite a few video clips on there that show this being done.

Yes. It says so in the title of the item. Make sure your rim and the valve type are compatible (Schraeder vs. Presta).

Not sure what a presta valve is. But these are threaded like what is found on an automobile tire or any kids bicycle. Hope this helps.

Yes. The bottles and screw tops are compatible. If you really liked your Medela, though, you might be severely disappointed in this pump. I switched from Medela to the Simplisse, and it was torture. They may have made improvements since I bought mine last year, and there's no doubt their customer service was good, but the pump itself is weak and inconsistent, whereas the Medela was much more reliable.

It's called a presta valve. I bought a hand pump from walmart that's interchangeable between the two types. It was like 20 bucks. I bet Amazon sells them.

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.

My wife and I both have one of these pumps. We use it on road bikes as well as mountain bikes. All our bikes use presta valves, but it should work with schrader too, since it has a reversible head.

Hi!This pump works with all bicycles. Simple valve pump head fits Presta and Schrader valves.

Yes, this pump is compatible with R12, R13a and R22. However, it will be necessary to purchase an adapter for the pump to fit your manifold line.

I've never tried but assuming the plumbing connectors are correct it should work. I will say one thing. This is the worst pump in the world. Had it back to the shop three times and I was told I pump too hard. Waste of money.

I ordered this for my bike DOES NOT fit Presta valves - however, for the price I kept it to use with my car and it works great. Just note it fits Schraeder valves only.
