Unfortunately, in order to install it in a tube, a removable valve core is required. Some, but not all, Presta tubes have removable valve cores.
Does my presta valve have a removable core?
Thanks to tubeless tires, more and more Presta valves have removable cores for adding sealant. Because the core can be unthreaded, I’ve had a Presta valve core come unscrewed more than a few times when I was miles away from help.

Are there different types of Presta valves?
There are Presta valves of different lengths for different types of rims. Some aerodynamically designed rims are thicker and need a longer valve stem. Their lengths differ from 32 mm to 80 mm. The ideal is that the valve sticks out about 1.25” (32 mm) above the rim but it won’t hurt if the valve is longer than that.

Why are Presta valves so difficult?
because the tube valve ‘self locks’, i.e. only opens under pressure from the pump line, when you stop pumping, it locks. this means the pressure in the pump (which is what is being indicated on the dial) is not the pressure in the tube. sometimes though, it seems to stay open and i get a good (accurate) reading.
Are Presta valve caps necessary?
Since the valve core of the Presta valve protrudes and can have a sharp edge, the cap is best used to protect itself when the tube is folded up and not in use. It can also prevent tearing a jersey if the tube is carried in your back pocket.
How do I know if my Presta valve is removable?
On a presta valve there is a wide threaded part that the lock ring attaches to. And a narrower part with the valve lock nut above it that the cap threads onto. If the narrow part has two flat sides to get a tool onto, then it’s removable.

Can you inflate a Presta valve without an adapter?
How Do You Inflate a Presta Valve without an Adapter? If you’re in a pinch (perhaps literally!), and you don’t have a universal pump or a valve adapter, you can modify a tube cap to create a functional adapter using a presta valve CAP. Remove the valve cap. Find the place on the valve cap where it gets smaller.

Are there different size Presta valves?
Inner tube valve lengths
Presta valves come in different lengths too. With deeper section rims becoming more common, it’s important to make sure that your valve is long enough to protrude through the rim and let you attach a pump to it.
Can you remove a Presta valve?
If the Presta valve has a unified body, then the core isn’t removable. In case of malfunction, you will have to replace the entire inner tube. The image above shows a non-removable valve core.
