There are two types of inner tube valves?
YES, Schrader valves, or American valves, are standard valves, similar to what you have on your car tires. Presta valves, sometimes called French valves, allow for higher air pressure, but require a specialized inflation device. Adapters are also available. 3. $300 still seems like a lot when I can get the same thing for $100 at a discount store.
