My recently aquired hack bike has schrader valves whilst all my spares are for my mtb with presta valves - seems sensible to keep spares stock down to have them both running presta valves.
Any tips on how to be able to runs the prestas in the bigger hole without worrying about the rim nibbling at the valve stem?

JustRidingAlong sell them as "rim reducers" - alu or rubber

presumably others do too

Fight the fight brother.

It's about time the agricultural schraeder valve was consigned to MTB history along with Girvin Flexstems and URTs.

I like schraeder - more robust IMO. Tho I have prestas on most of my wheels now.
