excuse the question but after a p******* on the way home and walking back in the rain (not one 'you ok mate?' from the other two wheelers) i am rather tired and bought the wrong tubes earlier.
Can i safely use the presta tubes with my mtb rims?
Thank you

Yes, but it is best to use a plastic grommet that takes up the space. You can get away with locking the thread nut down tight, but it can still move about a bit.0

some of the valve lock rings do the same job if turned up side down.
Have a look."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Ive been running my road/commute bike like this with no problem for 4 months now.
Jyst make sure you lock it up nicely with the lockring.Giant TCR advanced 2 (Summer/race)
