Or, as I do, "clean" them up periodically with violent thrusts from an
efficient floor pump. OS and Stan's do clog valves, but never IME enough to

I can't say whether Schraeders clog up more than Prestas, though.

carry-on/hand
pumps
On a ride, switching valve size on your pump can be tricky depending on
your pump (and if it can switch at all). I'd just buy a converter plug and
be done. Of course my wife's cargo bike came with Schrader valves, I have
the converter plugs somewhere, and haven't done it yet. Most of the pumps
