Review on Wheels Manufacturing Presta Valve Saver: Protecting Your Bike's Valves for Longevity by George Kapoor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installing Presta hoses on a Schrader bored wheel has never been easier.

I bought these to convert a set of Bontranger wheels from Schrader valving to Presta. I've tried rubber grommets with plastic rings but they seem to have shifted and the Presta valve tubes seem to wobble. These Wheels Manufacturing "lifeguards" hold the valves in place well so they don't move and create a potential weak point in the hose. Especially when the tire requires higher pressure. Use it and forget it. For lower pressures, styles with rubber bushings seem to work well.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
