Bicycle folks What valve do you have
I was looking at extra tubes today and found a bunch that are presta valves. I have the old schraeder valve. Is one better than the other?

I will no longer be a spectator, a dreamer, a wonderer. I AM a doer; not only a goal setter, but a goal achiever. I will lead by example rather than word. I will "DARE GREATLY!"

I have the presta valves, but I also carry the adapters that slip over the top of them which will allow you to use the pumps at the gas station etc. They are cheap less than a buck at my local bike store.
The thing I like about the prest valves is for changing the tire, you can open the valve and blow a little air into them. It makes it easier for me to see that I have the tube in there properly and and no kinks or pinches on the tube.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
Mine are all presta and I have an adaptor too.
I like the presta better but I have no objective data to back that up. They just seem easier to work with to me.
