Pro Tip: This Simple Trick Could Save You From Walking Home 11

Guess what? Every presta tube has a schrader valve adapter built in. This is genius.

The next time your presta equipped ride has a flat tire and you don't have the right pump on hand, try it out. Grind the cap on the ground if you don't have a knife.

Or you could just drill your rims and run Schraders, like the North Shore huckin', not give a f##kin', bar draggin' badass that you are.

Prestas are for road bikes.

You do have to be a tiny bit stupid to take the wrong pump on your ride.
Great tip to know though.

True enough, and most pumps can be switched from presta to shrader.

I've been left searching for my adaptor more than once when I was trying to seat my tires with a compressor though.
