weird valves

[loobyluce]

Hi I wonder if someone can advise me? I'm not too up on bikes and I've inherited a bike with two unmatching weird valves that don't fit my pump:

and

What can I do to get on the road. Is it worth getting new inner tubes (are the valves attached? will they all fit through the hole in my wheel?) or do adapters exist for weird valves?

I'd appreciate a bit of help! Thanks!

The top one looks like a woods valve, bottom, presta

HTH!

IIRC woods can be replaced with presta. Both come attached to tubes

Presta is a common valve type, the other common one is schrader (car valve).

Ahhh, it's all so clear now! Thank you!

no, woods can be replaced by schrader, but the pump fitting is the same as presta.

I knew there was some part that was interchangable!
