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. So on those surfaces, how many rims have you seen that failed because of the valve hole? -- - Frank Krygowski |
