what is the difference in the tube with a regular schrader valve and one with thorn proof schrader valve?

Actually, the valve will be identical - it's the tube itself that is either regular or thorn-resistant. The tube will be a bit heavier (by grams) and thicker. Hope this helps!

thicker rubber and heavier for thorn proof tubes. In thorn proof tubes as the name implies--less likely to get a puncture from thorns or other sharp objects and the stem is more resistant to abrasion and tearing at the stem to tube mating point

Yes will work on both presta and schrader valves. Does not screw on - just a press fit.

I use tubes with a Presta valve, but the valve hole is plenty large and there should be no problem using a tube with a Schrader valve.

Here's one that should work from - where other than Amazon! Sunlite Standard Schrader Valve Tubes, 26 x 4.0" / 32mm Valve, BlackI've not tried it myself, but others report it works. You could also go for a smaller diameter tube (i.e. 26x2.7") which would balloon out to fill the volume, but in my opinion you would lose a little durability/longevity doing that since the rubber would always be under a fair amount of stress. Good luck!!!

Comes with schrader tubes. But that can obviously be changed to presta by simply purchasing presta valve tubes at your local bike shop. The tubes didnt last too long before puncture for myself, always bring an extra!

There's not much of a difference. It will be an awesome buy. Just make sure you get a single pipe and not the break down type that comes in two pieces. You will get much better performance out of the single piece pipe.

Schrader are the valves that I use them on.....the bicycles and the car....but will fit presta with a adaptor

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.

The previous answers tell you where to find the correct psi. I have filled the tubes to between 85 and 95psi depending on my tires - 700x35 thorn resistant tires. The tubes if not punctured last about 18 mo and commonly, for me, fail at the base of the valve stem.

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

Arn't presta valve stems always threaded? Our order was for Schrader valve.

I am using presta, but the size of the hole in the rim is irrelevant. The valves are different, but the presta body is the same size at the base as the schraeder. So either one will fit.

Good Morning Steel valve stems are ultimately recommended and I would definitely switch over the next time you have tire work performed. That being you can use the smaller Anti Theft (1 inch) on a rubber valve stem, I would not recommend using the Flow Through (2 1/2 inch) on a rubber stem. I do recommend using rubber valve stem supports on your rubber stems. There are 2 types; one that goes over the rubber stem and clips onto the edge of the rim, the other that adheres to the rim and support the rubber stem from the side. You can do a google search for "rubber valve stem support" or email us off our web site and we will gladly send you some pictures of what to look for. The primary issue with rubber stems is where the rubber stems come through the metal rim. With extra wear and vibration the rim can start to cut into the valve stem. You always want to make sure on your walk around to wiggle the rubber stems and listen for air leakage through any stem, particularly where it comes out the rim. Customer Relations EEZ RV PRODUCTS

It's cheaper to buy some adapters than buy a new pumpTo pump up European tires you need to buy a presta-to-schrader valve adapter and screw it onto your dunlop valves. Boom, done. As arbitrarily as the bike industry has handed us theses three valve types to deal with, they have offered up a nice solution: the threads on the presta and dunlop valve are identical. A presta-to-schrader adapter is therefore a dunlop- or presta-to-schrader adapter.

Or you can take it to a good bike shop that will drill out the hole in the rim to accept schrader valve tubes. Prestas are very finicky, delicate and serve no better purpose than a traditional schrader on a mountain bike. People just think they are exotic because they are normally found on more high-end road bikes.

You switch around the internal pieces... In my experience it works much better for schrader... Presta is kinda funny on this pump... I returned this item.

This is the one I purchased along with Dramm 12353 Heavy-Duty Brass Shut-Off Valve, which makes it a lot more user friendly. I do not know if this is the same as the Dramm Nozzle, but this one works great in south Florida harsh environment.
