→ Dunlop: The less-common Dunlop valve, used in parts of Asia and Europe, looks like a wider presta valve. This type of valve can be inflated using an air pump at a gas station. It’s wrapped in rubber, threaded at the end, and has a pin in the center that can be depressed to add or release air with a spring to keep it sealed. The Schrader valve is wider than the presta type and the same circumference from tip to rim. → Schrader: Think car tire, mountain bike tire, beach cruiser, and most kids’ bikes. The smaller diameter of this valve compared with a Schrader type reduces the size of the opening in the rim, which makes for a stronger wheel. Presta valves are typically found on road and performance bikes because they’re able to hold higher air pressures. It’s usually threaded from tip to rim and has a knurled nut at the end that must be unscrewed (opened) in order to add or release air. → Presta: This is the long, thin valve that tapers at the top and is made entirely of metal. Maximum air pressure is limited by your compressor’s capabilities.The presta valve (left) is more common on road bikes and mid- to high-end mountain bikes while the Schrader valve (right) is typically found on hybrid and children’s bikes. High-pressure hose for easy access on any wheel.Īir compressor and air hose with quick release connector required for use – not included. Cast alloy pistol grip handle with Nickel-plated finish. Rubber pressure gauge housing for shock protection. Replaceable I/M compressor quick-release attachment. Quick lever release minimizes loss at disconnect. Engages any valve with a simple flip of the lever. Polymer Presta / Schrader auto-select head. Copper coil mechanism provides good accuracy. Prestaflator is different… a high quality, serviceable tool… designed, built and warranted for use on Bicycles. Our R&D has created a proven design that we have consistently improved-upon through years of experience. We are a full-line Bicycle tools company providing the Cycling industry globally with world-class tool designs. Prestacycle is the originator of the Prestaflator. These are not real brands that can stand behind your product. It’s high enough to inflate any daily-use tire, but not excessive so the gauge is easy to read.īeware of fakes and cheap imitations sold by one-product sellers. The dial has a bicycle-specific pressure range of 12 Bar/174 PSI. The pressure gauge has a durable steel case covered with a rubber shock housing and offers accuracy with +/- 2%. Smooth alloy clamps on the hose are more comfortable for use. It’s more flexible than rubber hoses and is rated for 300 PSI of continuous use. We start with a cast Alloy body and give it a Nickel plated finish. Only top quality materials are used for it’s components. Prestaflator is engineered specifically for the needs of bicycles and bicyclists. Quick lever release minimizes air loss at disconnect. Presta / Schrader auto-select head engages with a simple flip of the lever. Designed for Bicycle Mountain & Road tires with a wide range of pressure requirements. The dial pressure gauge lets you follow your progress visually. The Prestaflator ECO is designed with a medium flow trigger valve providing a perfect balance for inflation and seating tubeless tires. Bullet-proof high-pressure, disc-compatible chuck for high-pressure situations. Male Schrader thread fits into any Schrader chuck, or use SILCA Thread-On Schrader Adapter to fit a bare hose Adjustable gasket pre-load allows for a custom fit on any valve as well as compensation for gasket wear Uses SILCA 254 High-Tech Elastomer gasket Can effectively seal on valve stems as short as 10mm!

So Josh set out to improve the design and make it available to cyclists everywhere. Years ago while Josh was working with the Team CSC at the Dauphine Libere, he noticed one of their mechanics using the most amazing little chuck to manage the disc wheel inflation. Unlike anything he had seen before, it was all metal and used a 'lollipop' lever on the side to lock onto the valve stems in disc wheels. The mechanic explained that these were made in Japan and were coveted by all the Euro-Pro mechanics due to their scarcity.
