Irony is he's too cheap to buy the $40 pump to air them up himself...so when he has to air up, we have to swing by the bike shop before the trails  |
That's retarded... buy the $1 adapter and carry it with you every time you bike...

I guess all my rims have been drilled for presta, so maybe it's the grommet that's causing problems. I usually keep the nut on the stem cinched down pretty tight, and maybe yours are moving around when you ride and causing problems.  |
Me too... never any issue. As I think udman said, you're rims probably aren't designed for presta valves.
