Subject: Presta valve troubles
I getting my bike ready for its first ride, and when filling up the tires the very tip of the presta valve was lodged deeper into the valve. It seems to be holding in the air pretty well... what do you think? Is it ok to ride on?

It'll probably be OK to ride on, but you won't be able to refill it (if it's trully stuck). So, might as well go ahead and replace it.

For $4, Id just replace the tube. If you get a flat on your ride, you wont have a means to fix it.
