I used a friends pump on my Presta valve equipped tire today, and when I pulled the pump off, it must have pulled the device off on the end of the valve that is unscrewed and depressed (to break the seal) prior to adding air. The device was missing, and I could not find it - it must have flipped off into no man's land.
The tire sealed fine and held the air without leaking. My questions are:
1) Is it okay to use the tire like this? and if yes then
2) I presume one would simply place a thin nail like device into the valve stem to break the seal and put air in, is that true?
Thanks for the input.
