Bikes: Had an old Columbia in the 80's, here a used Schwinn hybrid, now a Cannondale Quick 3 and a Topstone 105..

Presta?

And now the depth of my ignorance has resurfaced. What is the reason for this valve and is it better or worse than the conventional Schrader valve?
I have two adaptors and my emergency on board hand pump has a smaller side to the inflator head so that is now explained. I also have a new "trim" position on the front derailleur control that I am still trying to figure out. I understand it and it has been completely explained to me at the store but when on the road I am still working out the mechanics. The Quick 3 is a lot more bike than I have ever had and I obviously have a lot to understand. Makes me wonder how lost I would be if I had bought a high end road bike.
Frank.
