[Closed] Schraeder to Prestatyn rim covertor?

Presta obviously.....

you can get a proper insert but shouldn't need if you go Caerphilly

(make sure the edges of the hole have no burrs and you ought to be fine - I've put presta tubes in place of Schrader when I've punctured on a ride and then left them in for ages)

Yes, not sure where from though, ask your LBS I'm guessing a few get taken out of new wheels. Or just run Schrader, not a bad thing.

mikew makes a good point - unless you already have presta tubes, don't bother

i know you can get little adapters- but they dont make much difference ime, of course if youre going the other way youll have to ryhll them out

I run Prestatyns in Shrewsbury rims no problem, though there is of course a bit of a Shrap around the valve body but it seems to cause no issues.

Yeah i use [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rim-Hole-Converters-Schrader-to-Presta-Valve-Pair/281090573658?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=018&category=177821&cmd=ViewItem ]these[/url] on my 717's.

[quote=kimbers said] youll have to ryhll them out

applauds.

I've heard that drilling out Prestatyn rims, Wrexham.

Nah, the tyre will Mold itself to the rim, no bother

good on him for Afan Argoed at it.

Will be fine. Just Bangor in.

Indeed. 717 rims aren't up to much though. A bit flimsy in my opinion. Fine if you're a lighter Rhayader though.

If you do Rhyll them out be careful, if it slips you could Margam and that generally Wrexham

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch tubeless, mind.

Great thread!

and back to the point... 🙂

Most Schwalbe tubes with Presta valves come with the grommet.

I've ran Prestatyn tubes in schraeder rims with no grommet for years, no issues.

Make one yourself with a bit of rubber & a Crafnant knife.

Great thread - what do you Brecon..?

Don't Usk me

Great thread - what do you Brecon..?

(llan)dudno really

Love it 🙂

No need for the grommet, Prestatyn tubes are really Taff

Aye, they're Builth pretty Wells

Whatever you decide, I hope you get this Resolven soon.

Just don't go making a Machynlleth of yourself

Corwen you find out which ones fit, Denbigh the ones to tell us about 😆

Menai a rider has had the same Dai-lemma. Personally I wouldn't Risca tube without one.

I Llandudno what else to add...

Don't bother with tubes anymore, sick of punctures from Fflints

I'll Gorlech in the shed for some spares.

Might be cold when you Gorlech out to the shed so don't forget your Cardigan.

Anglesey what I've got. Mavic rims Aberystwyth the little bits you need usually.

If you buy Continental tubes then the little knurled lock ring thingy is stepped and can be used to centre a prestatyn valve in a shrewsbury Ness hole

Be careful, if they puncture while riding you risk a Holyhead

Thread of the month 🙂

If one doesn't do the job Caerphilly, one might Criccieth one's neck.

It's nice to have the flexibility if you catch a Fflint unexpectedly, especially if the patch you apply keeps Ruabon off.

Dyfi have a good enough answer do you think?

Denbigh hasty - plenty of time yet

Amlwch'n at this thread & can't believe no one's offered to Llandygai a couple of grommets yet.

OP, if someone does offer, don't be too Vaynol to accept a bit of help, ok?

Can I Esk Wye are we doing this?

I'll get my Cardigan....

I Llanberis any longer. No more Welsh puns!

No more Welsh puns!

Denbigh such a spoilsport.
Makes you sound like a bit of a Chirk, tbh.

I think the op should MonmouthTFU and sort it. If he had Tal-y-bontrager rims this wouldn't be a issue. Make sure your tyres have plenty of TREDegar and mount them rhondda rim or you might llangadog.

Be careful I drilled the rim and made a mess of it. I was Llanfairfechin upset!

Hope the valve/logo alignment is ok after he llandrillo'd it and he doesn't dai and that he cwmbach.

Conwy suggest something better?*

*tutting at myself at that one!

This thread has left me feeling lost for words, Tongue tied in fact! I feel all Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch...
Edit.. That's ^^^ actually a real word, welsh gits...

I Cardiff predicted this sort of response..

If you Rhyl them it generally Wrexham. Last thing you want is a little bit of swarf to Bangor.

What is the general condition of the wheel rhymney?

Keep yer Aberaeron boys, this poor chap is Tywyn the line, there's no need to treat him like a Ffostrasol... best to be nice for the sake of Carmarthen good things will happen.

No need to be gentle when fixing it in. Abersoch it one.

It won't be affected by weather, no problem if it gets Snowdon.

probably best to Aberfan follow you round the first ride in case it all goes wrong ?

Schraeder to Prestatyn sounds like a long ride.

Be sure to send a post Cardiff and when you get there

Just ewes some epohxy. Use Afan to dry it.

If he wants to drill his rims out to use Borth valve types then let him

Schrhayader to Prestatyn? I wouldn't go there.

my mate BARRY will know.... and if he doesn't he'll TALGARTH who is bound to know . . .

Cardiff

Whatever you do go Caerphilly cause if you Wrexham you'll have to buy a Newport.

Y Garn believe this is still going.

No word from the OP?
Obviously went OK then and he didn't end up Brecon his rims.

I hope he didn't go out without his cardigan and get snowdon.

Conwy just let him get on with it.

Whatever, make sure you get it right so you dont get any leeks.

There's been a rarebit of advice offered hasn't there?

If I get the plastic insert do I have to seal it to avoid Mold if it gets damp?

When checking my wheels, I noted that one was Rhonda than the other.

Just get out and Rhyder and let the Powys that be take care of the rest

You lot are Llareggub use -no help at all.

I nipped out to the shed to check for grommets. It was cold out but I'd put on me daughters swansea and a stout pair of pwllhelis. Searching was a Rhyl struggle, but looking in the timber pile I found one Neath a lump of Tenby four. Yours if you want to Prestatyn?

Did you know that most tubes are made in Tywyn ?

Like alot of Menai find Maesteg-y goop is good at sealing leaky Rhiwbina.

If you get it Rhondda and it burps, you could dai.

Try putting some music on while you do it . Are you an aberfan?

C'mon have some faith, Betws-y-coed do a lovely Neath job if he took his time.

These puns are terrible. You lot need to Aberfachan word with yourselves 🙄

Cwm Rhonda my place and if using a Rhyl Wrexham we can get tremadog to Bangor them Rhonda shed till they work as he's pandy like that. If your still afon a hardd time and end up with a Pyle of crap we can go Rhayader Trail and if you aberdare we can usk for some help in the morning as it is a Monmouth tsk but I Brecon we can do it

I Garnant take any more of this!
