Bicycle valves: the heart of your tire
Bicycle valves are the small valves found on the side of a bicycle tire that allow air to be added. There are two types of valves: Schrader valves and Dunlop valves. Schrader valves are the more commonly used valves and are similar to those used in automobile tires. Dunlop valves, also known as Woods valves, are longer and have a different shape. It is important to use the correct valve for your bicycle tire, otherwise it will not be possible to inflate it. It is also important to regularly check and maintain the valves to ensure a safe and reliable air supply.
