I ride a fat bike in the winter and honestly fuck pumping the wheels with presta valves even just going for low psi. I swapped to schrader and its way faster. The road bike has presta just because thats the size of the hole and I don’t want to drill out carbon rims. It’s also way lower volume so its fast enough anyway.
at the very least I couldn’t seat the fat tire with the hand pump. I borrowed the bottle thing from my friend where you pump it up to a pretty hich psi and burst the tire on. with the schrader I got it on just pumping kinda fast.
and with either valve type a pocket pump just isn’t happening for a fat bike without unrealistic amounts of patience.
That’s all tubeless btw. Fat tubes I’ve only seen schrader.

@Grass @muelltonne It really makes that much of a difference?
