I leave my adapter screwed in to my CO2 quick-fill pump which resides in my camelback.

btw - the two girls I helped this past Saturday had CO2 pumps that didn't work. I used my hand pump to get them back on the trail. |

No issues with presta for the past 8 years or so here, no CO2 issues either.

Be sure that before you fill up a presta valve that you press the valve down a few times to release air which helps get dust and debree out. I've never had a problem with the Presta. Infact what I do love about Presta is when you get a flat and change the tire and need to pump air into it. Because of the nut on the valve you don't have to hold the other side of the tire to put pressure on the valve.

I've been using Presta valves since the early 90s without problems. I find them easier to fill (because of the nut that holds the valve stem in place) when low. Shraders sink back into the rim when you try to put a pump on them and it's a PITA. Even if I have Shrader drilled rims, I still use Presta tubes.
I've also never jacked around with those CO2 cartridges. Those are reserved for racing purposes. If I'm just out riding, I use a hand pump. |
