enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

I’ve been looking around and can’t seem to locate one.

Cheers,

We’ll just have to disagree on tubes but I’ve always said the only times you get agreement is when people aren’t interested.

What really soured me on Prestas were the batches of bad tubes that Michelin produced about the time I started self contained touring with a friend in Georgia during the winter. I had used only Prestas on my diamond frames for years for the reasons you cited. But for several years, the Presta valves would pull out of the tubes at the worst possible times. Taking the usual precautions didn’t help. One tube would be good and the next one would fail quickly.

Please bring up questions for discussion as you run into them. We may not agree but there is always something to lean in civil discussion.

I doubt that rim strength difference is significant but a presta is very easy to get to high pressure with a hand pump. A schrader isn’t.
A small brass collar can be screwed onto a presta to allow a garage pump to fit. I carry two pumps anyway. No way would I think 60 miles between petrol station air pumps a reasonable distance to go to get my tyre at the correct pressure.
Overall, as I expect to be hand pumping, and because I can adapt it for garage pumps, I choose presta.
Love this blog. I’ve only just discovered it having bought a Ran clone lwb recumbent recently.
Cheers

If the tube is too big you will have a hard time preventing pinch flats when you replace the tube on the road. The right tube may be hard to find but here is a list of places where you can find them – 26X1.25 and 26X1.5 tubes. Don’t worry about brand very much, there aren’t many places makes these tubes but there are a lot of different boxes. I recommend Schrader valves for touring (see What Type of Valve to Use for Touring – Schrader or Presta). [...]

It has a screw on adapter that depresses the schrader valve spring eliminating the presta advantage when pumping. The pump is an Air Revoultion see, http://ebent.wordpress.com/2006/05/17/a-bike-pump-that-really-works/
