Bicycle tires with Presta valves need a tiny nut unscrewed before inflation

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Hook: Filling a bicycle tire with air shouldn't require a puzzle, yet here we are. Explanation: Unlike the standard Schrader valves you see everywhere else, high-end bicycles use skinny Presta valves. You have to physically unscrew a tiny brass nut at the top before air can go in or out, ensuring high pressure stays locked inside the tube.
