A few weeks ago i started a thread asking if i should drill out my rims to accept schraeder valves or stick with the presta ones. I had mixed reviews about the best valves so thought i would set about giving presta a shot.
On and off for the past few weeks i had tried unsuccesfully to pump these tyres up but was not getting anywhere. It seems i am one of the people that don’t get on with them – the drill was coming ever closer.
After my frustration tonight i said to Mrs Gnusmas the drill will be out tomorrow and i will get back on my bike. She said the words no sane man wants to hear “do you want me to try?” I said if you want so she did.
Now it seems i owe her one 😉 as i now have two very inflated tyres.
She made me tell the world of STW about this. Now i have 2 choices. Do i:
accept she gets on with presta valves and ask her kindly every time i need my tyres pumping up
or
use my wheels as huge frisbees until they can’t be pumped up anymore and say “ha ha now do it”
A big thankyou to my wife, as she sits next to me laughing and gloating. Bloody Presta Valves!!!!!!!!!!!!
