Yes it is just like any other schrader valve it just holds more pressure. YES Juch they work with any pump made for a standard schrader there are some specialty valves for high end bikes but I doubt you have a pump for them. Look at the huge pictures and see if the valve resembles the valves on your bike or if your bike pump can pump a car tire it will work.

So they do work with the bike pumps? Or not?

1. You drill the right-sized hole into an endcap and push/pull it through until it pops in.
2. No.
3. Auto Zone or the bike shop.
4. Pretty much.
5.Yes.

Alright I'm going to make this as simple as possible

Yes all you have to do is drill the right sized hole

YES they come from an auto parts store not a bike shop

YES THEY WORK WITH REGULAR BIKE PUMPS UNLESS (YOUR) PUMP IS FOR A
SPECIALTY VALVE ANY PUMP THAT CAN PUMP A CAR TIRE WORKS.

YES they are safer and easier to use than most of the valves previously suggested to use
