I just like the ease of Presta valves, with the threaded nut holding the stem in place when pumping up from flat, and the fact that no separate valve cap is needed (the plastic cap on a new tube is to keep the metal valve end from puncturing the tube during shipping, nothing more). I've had 2 flats out on the road I think, and both times my Topeak Road Morph-G mini pump worked just fine to get the Presta tubes pumped back up again.
Ha! Buying more equipment is *always* the right solution! By the way, the Topeak Road Morph-G is exactly the pump I use. I think I’ve had mine for 18 years now. It is one of those rare perfect things.
