Okay, so I'm slowly crawling up out of the ooze of crappy second-hand obsolete bikes; this is
probably a no-brainer for some, but I'd rather ask before I jump either way, than make an assumption
and then later find out that I should have gone the other way, or that it didn't really matter...
I just picked up a wheel that has a Mavic X221 rim on it, which (obviously) has a Presta valve hole.
This is a pretty narrow rim, skinnier than any of the otehr mtb rims I have, and double-walled.
Since it's terra somewhat incognito, I'm a little dubious about reaming that hole out to take a
Schrader valve's stem. On the other hand, I'd prefer to have just one kind of tube in the stable if
possible, but it's not critically essential. Can anyone vouch for having done this wthout trouble?
Or should I just get the tube that fits (and a spare) and be done with it?
