presta valve: filling procedure

Hey Andrew, I am sorry to see that you removed my contribution to the article. You may be aware of the procedure for attaching a hand pump to this valve but I certainly wasn't. Many other riders too are unaware. As the result the grommet is degraded quickly if one simply pushed it on or pulls it off without first relieving the compression on the grommet. Why don't you allow this info to be part of the information? -Roland — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rfinston (talk • contribs) 17:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained in my edit summary:

Your comments are unsourced and come across as original research. Is some manufacturing providing these instructions? Some industry expert?
They are pretty specifically how-to comments, and Wikipedia is not a how-to guide
They are about certain hand pumps, and not specific to presta valves.

If you disagree, or would like a second opinion, please begin a discussion on the article talk page. -AndrewDressel (talk) 19:29, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
