onto the end of the valve stem. To let air out of a Schraeder valve, depress the pin in the end of the valve stem with the
end of a key or other appropriate object.
The Presta valve (fig. S) has a narrower diameter and is only found on bicycle tires. To inflate a Presta valve tube using a
Presta headed bicycle pump, remove the valve cap; unscrew (counterclockwise) the valve stem lock nut; and push down
on the valve stem to free it up. Then push the pump head on to the valve head, and inflate. To inflate a Presta valve with a
Schraeder pump fitting, you’ll need a Presta adapter (available at your bike shop) which screws on to the valve stem once
you’ve freed up the valve. The adapter fits into the Schraeder pump fitting. Close the valve after inflation. To let air out of a
Presta valve, open up the valve stem lock nut and depress the valve stem.
WARNING: Patching a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not apply the patch correctly or apply several
patches, the tube can fail, resulting in possible tube failure, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Replace a
patched tube as soon as possible
