rawe@ascentale @bobjonkman @CharlesSites @bikenite A4) had multiple cases of Presta valves slowly leaking air - only way to reliably fix this was to swap the valve.
Schrader valves work with gas station car tire inflation stations. At least they used to. Newer "smart" tire inflation stations can't deal with the low amount of air in bike tires and I heard storys of exploded tires and gas stations forbidding inflating bike tires.

Asked by someone who knows only Schrader valves...
