i'm going to ask anyways.LOL
Since i got my bike i have used Presta valved tubes. Can i switch to schrader? I don't think there is a difference but wasnt sure if the hole on the wheel were different?I ask because My hand pump that i pack with me while riding has bent Presta valves a few times in the past making them leak.
Thought i would ask before i ordered some.
Thanks

You can make the switch if the hole in your rim is big enough.

Just unscrew the little doo-hickey at the base of the presta valve on your wheel and see if there is some extra room.
