Will tightening the valve stem press against the valve core?
1 Answers
Tightening the valve stem can press against the valve core, but the tire won't leak air even if the valve core cap is missing, because the valve stem is what actually functions. As long as the valve stem isn't damaged, there will be no air leakage. Types of valve stems: The Schrader valve (American-style) is the most widely used type of valve stem, commonly found in cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and other vehicles. The Presta valve (French-style) is typically used on bicycles, especially road bikes, along with other special types of valve stems. Functions of valve stems: The valve stem functions as a small component for inflating and deflating tires, maintaining the seal after inflation. A standard valve stem consists of three main parts: the valve stem body, the valve core, and the valve stem cap.
