Blast from the past I remember having bikes with Dunlop. That is a great point you make!

Hopefully they come up with new valves that require is to use a T49 bottom bracket

I like the idea of a praeder valve that’s a bit bigger than a schrader valve but works like a huge presta valve.

Every minipump I’ve owned in the last 15yrs will thread onto a schrader valve.

Snobs can also like the continuity of only having prestas as presta valves used to mean(and still sorta do) your bike costs more than most

Don’t give them any more ideas!

Yes, they’re making a mistake by not going with Dunlop valves instead. They of course have toolless core removal, and I believe a larger inside diameter than Schrader valves as well.

My track pump screws on for both valve types

My (and probably most) shock pumps do exactly this.

that’s why ppl keep presta really.

In theory it should be possible to make a pump like this for Schrader (maybe even without the pin to open the valve, as air pressure itself should be enough to open the valve), but I have never seen one. Maybe Jones could invent one? 😉
