Core Pro Floor Pump

This means you can easily inflate different types of bicycles without needing multiple pumps, making it a convenient choice for any cyclist.

Presta valves are narrower and typically found on high-performance road bikes, while Schrader valves are wider and commonly used on car tires and many mountain bikes. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right pump and ensures you can inflate your bike tires correctly.
