The washer has a smooth side and a sharper cut side. What I do to make the Presta valves work is, I use a old style brake shoe washer. The original tubes were Schrader valve type. I replaced the inner-tubes with new ones with Presta valves. Below: The new tires are Kenda 27 x 1 1/8 90 psi gum wall.
