What a pain in the ass to pump tires with these things

Presta are technically better in certain ways, but they can be a bit annoying if you don’t have a good pump/adapter for them.
is just very basic and common due to non-bike uses.
It’s just frustrating trying to figure out the exact amount you need to loosen the valve that it lets air in from standard bicycle pumps
okkkk, presta sucks and is unnecessary but that is not the case. You just loosen it all the way.
That would make sense, but when I open it all the way the air just won’t go in with my pump
You can get a presta to schrader adapter that is a valve cover/cap. You just take it off, unscrew the valve all the way and then put the cap back on, and it works exactly like a schrader. I keep one on one of my presta valves so I can air up with any random pump in a pinch.
