Just wondering, are valves for a tubless setup available as Schrader fitting? I find the presta look so flimsy, to be fair I have yet to have one fail on me.

    I think prestas are preferred as its easier to remove the core for fast inflation.

    Presta are superior for bikes, they need a smaller hole in the rim (so the rim is stronger) and as noted the core is easier to remove for tubeless operation.

    Also Schraeder rarely have a locknut which is absolutely essential for tubeless operation.
