I don't like Presta valves. I will take a Schraeder any day. No unscrewing the valve, tapping it, etc. My LBS guy says Prestas hold the air in better, but I still like Schraeders because they are easier to inflate. Particularly because I use an air compressor, so with a Presta I have to put on an adaptor, which is another pain.
