I was recently given some tubes with presta valves. The rims have holes big enough for the
schraeder value. Is there an adapter or any tricks that will allow the use of presta valved tubes
in theses rims.

thanks

The screw nut on the outside of the presta is enough to hold it in. I have never had any trouble
putting prestas into these type of Rims. If you are worried they are too big you could put another
nut on the inside of the rim.

Russell,

I know there are rubber "grommets" that fit into the rim holes that shrink it to a Presta valve
size. At least this is the case with my Mavic rims.

If you can't find any (expensive) OEM ones, you could probably just go to your local Bunnings and
pick up a pack of appropriately sized ones for a couple of bucks.

Are you talking about the ones that screw onto the valves, so you can use a Schrader pump on a
Presta tube? The OP was looking for a way to fit a Presta tube into a Schrader rim, given that the
hole in the rim is too big.

Anyway, what use are those valve adapters if servo air hoses don't go up to 100 psi or so?

No, I mean a metal grommet that fits the presta valve snugly into a shraeder rim hole. I can
actually read!

As I am coming from the USA perspective and products available there, it is possible such advanced
technology is not available locally here in Oz <G>

Since I already have my grommets I have had no occassion to look for more.
