I drilled my rims and put schraders instead. Only downside is needing a tool to let air out but then again that was the case with presta aswell as it always seemed to get stuck
I hope you don't have aluminium or carbon rims 😬
Aluminium and I did this years ago. If they break I buy new ones and drill those as well.
I've drilled out both aluminum and carbon rims. Does anyone even make steel rims any more?
You don't have finger nails?
Well no, and I don't see how that would help. In presta the nut gets stuck and needs pliers to loosen up and with schrader the valve stem is inside the valve body and needs a key or something to reach it.
