Hey guys. Today we are going to take a look at Slime's valve stem adapters. These adapters are going to allow you to put them on to any Presta valve stems and convert them to your standard Schrader stems. Now it's going to be useful because with the Presta valve right now we can't use any standard gauges or air pumps to air up or check the PSI of our tire. All we've got to do is you want to make sure that first that knob is loose, and then we're going to just slide the valve stem over the top and push down and then start threading it. You don't want to cross thread it though so you want to make sure you get it on there accurately.
There we go. Now we tighten it down all the way.Now from here we are going to be able to check our PSI or even air up our tire. You can see on our road bike the tires are virtually just no air in them at all, so we're just going to grab our air pump and we'll go ahead and air it up real quick. There we go. Now we can even take our Slime high pressure gauge and check our PSI.
Now we see we're going to be a little bit short. Usually with these road bike tires you are going to want about 80 psi so we can go ahead and air it up a little bit more.Then you can just repeat this process for your other tire. It is going to come with two different adapters, one for each tire. When you have your tires aired up to the capacity they need to be you can either take the adapter off, maybe store it in your vehicle, or you can even just leave it on there.Now with all that being said that's going to do it for a look at Slime's valve stem adapters.
