What type of tire valve does this bike have?

Comes with schrader tubes. But that can obviously be changed to presta by simply purchasing presta valve tubes at your local bike shop. The tubes didnt last too long before puncture for myself, always bring an extra!

It's a very long stem vàlve, forgot the name of it, but I always take the old one with me to the bike store for replacement. Hope this helped.

You can get a Boston valve with a valve on it like a tire has. Check academy sports.

You can get adaptor to go on valve stem so you can fill air anywhere. Adaptor at any bike shop one dollar.

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

The valve is the type that you need a bicycle pump. You cannot blow it up by mouth.

I believe they fit any standard tire valve. I have used them on many different vehicles.

It fits the older type bicycle valves, automotive tire valves etc., but not the newer, smaller type bicycle tires (Presta valves) unless you use the adapter designed to allow the holder to clip on. The adapter is available in many variations such as one with a key chain hook.

I think schrader valves are standard in most wheels, however the thickness well be slightly different, this well be overcome due to the flexibility of the aluminium stem of the VDO sensor

The bike has presta valve inner tubes so i would suggest any air pump that has presta valve or you can buy a little adapter for shrader valve that cost maybe $5.

It is a schrader valve. I ordered it thinking that it was a presta but had to return it! Disappointing.

Yes, you do have to pump up the tires initially, but they do have a typical bike valve.

My Topeak is for a road bike which uses a presta valve for high PSI (90-110 pounds) pressure. Most kids bikes, mountain bikes, and I imagine stroller tires use Shrader valves (auto tires too) which are for lower pressure. You probably need a Shrader style fitting. I am unaware of adapters that go Presta pump to shrader fitting, but you can check into that. Most adapters go the other way, for pumping a presta tube with a shrader pump.

It's a pretty standard valve. That being said, your regular bicycle pump or air compressor won't work without an adapter. But any standard hand or electric pump that is for pumping air mattresses, etc will work. I used a hand pump that came with an air mattress to pump up my towable. They sell for 10 bucks or less

I really don't know the name or type of the pump, however, I bought just a regular bicycle pump at one of those sporting good stores. There were NO choice of what types... more expensive one had a pressure gauge. I just picked up a regular one without the gauge.

The one I bought had a standard Presta valve. I do not know what you mean by "standard internal valve as opposed to one outside the stem." My complaint with the product I received was that the tube was about 3 inches longer than could be fitted into the tire. I wrote up a complaint against the not-clear-to-me sizing specs. on the package and advertizing. After I talked it over with the bike people at REI the tube SHOULD have fit in the tire. That it didn't was the company's mistake. Because I am not yet familiar with complaints to the manufacturer and returns through Amazon, I just ate the cost and loss. -- I also do not understand your "fits the 32 tire" question.

Yes they do. I put mine on a 1981 yamaha xv750. It's hard for me to air up my rear tire with a standard valve stem. I got them to turn a little to the side so I could get at them easier.

Schrader valves are just like the valves on most bike or vehicle tires: u should be able to fill it at home or the coin-op tire pressure things @ most gas stations!
