I can't imagine what your objection could be, given that Presta
valves are inferior in every single possible way to Schraeder
valves, except for their diameter. Count your blessings and use a
better, less fault-prone tube.

I cannot agree with that. The small diameter of Presta valves is one
significant advantage, ...


Yes, less compromise in the integrity and sturdiness of the rim.

Does anyone have an incident where a valve hole caused a failure in a rim?

A bike rim is in compression. Other stresses are small, unless one hits
a heck of a bump.


Which one occasionally does after passing a sign "Pavement Ends" or when
it's California roads which often look worse than Romanian roads.
Potholes galore.

Well, given that I read here about road bikes, gravel bikes, touring
bikes and even mountain bikes the solution would seem to be to buy a
pothole bike :-)
