| May 10, 2013 at 14:04 | comment | added | armb | Old style screw up hoses didn't let air out of a Presta fitting while you unscrewed it if you were careful, as far as I remember. But I recently bought a Silca pump that came with Silca's "#60.1 Reversible Connector". It lets huge amounts of air out of a Schrader valve, and I've replaced it with the head off my failed Topeak floor pump. | |

| May 9, 2013 at 19:04 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | You can be like me and appreciate Presta valves for being smaller and making narrower wheels possible. You can also join me in cussing them out due to the inflation problems you mentioned above. Everything's a compromise. :-) | |
| May 9, 2013 at 16:39 | comment | added | Kibbee | From what I remember with screw-on fittings, a significant amount of air was let out when unscrewing the fitting. So you'd have to pump them up a little bit extra to account for the air you would lose when unscrewing the pump. Maybe that's just the pumps I was using though. | |
