| Jul 3, 2016 at 15:12 | comment | added | RelaxedArcher | The Presta valve fits, but it seems to be just a bit smaller than Regina (something around 0.1 mm since it can be moved more easily) and my main concern is that it will tear off. | |

The two questions would be whether the hole in the rim is appropriately sized, and whether there is something "odd" about the rim (around the hole) vs a standard one used for Presta. But people get away with using a Presta in place of a Schrader, even absent the bushings that should be used in that case, so I can't see a likely problem with the Regina hole, so long as it's large enough, but not as large as a Schrader. | |
