Re: [RBW] Schrader OK? (Cross posted from iBob)
My stash of presta tubes is divided about equally into those with and those without removable cores. You *can* get Orange Seal into a tube without a "removable" core, because even "non removable" cores are removable; it's just a wee bit more of a hassle. I'd say that if you have the Schraeders already, and there is no problem with them, use them. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 7:38 AM, Tim Gavin wrote: > > so obviously need removable valve cores.

Btw, I road thousands of miles on Presta tubes in rims drilled Schraeders with no plugs, on road and off road, and had no problem whatsoever. I can see the need for the adaptors only if you use very low pressures that allow the valve to creep.

Re: [RBW] Schrader OK? (Cross posted from iBob)
Schraders should work just fine. I has been years since I used them myself, but I recall pulling the cores and cutting off the "return springs" on the core to make inflation a bit easier; this would also remove one more thing to be gummed up by the sealant. Perhaps modern Schrader valve cores no longer have the little springs? The only downside may be as Dn P said having to use the same pump on 2 different sorts of valves.

[RBW] Schrader OK? (Cross posted from iBob)
I'm converting my daughter's bike to 650b and bought a set of wheels from a list member. They are drilled for Schrader valves, but one came with a Presta adapter (or I lost the other one). Anyway, I also want try putting Orange Seal in her tubes for flat protection, so obviously need removable valve cores. It seems like the easiest thing to do is go ahead just use Schrader tubes. Is there any downside to this? I can't think of one, but I've only deal with Presta on my bikes for years and years now.
