SchwalbeClik Presta Conversion Kit (Cores Only)(Return to Product Page)

I'm switching my fleet over to click valves and other than the cost, I have no complaints. My wife appreciates the ease of use when filling her tires vs. her old presta valves. I've had no issues so far with sealant clogging them. I'm using adapters on my pumps, but may eventually convert one pump using the pump head conversion kit.

The only 'problem' I've had was that I can't use my battery-powered car tire inflator through an adapter, through the click valve, and then through an SKS AirSpy TPMS. The air flow is too restricted and the inflator cuts off right away. No issues using that setup with a floor pump, and I doubt that many people are running TPMS on their bikes.

These are better than Presta valves in every possible way. They are easier to use, have better airflow, and are much, much more robust. It has been a while since I've broken off a Presta valve, but I have done it, and I've got a few that have a disturbing bend to them. I've bought replacement Presta valves, but some of the cheap ones don't seal very well and are worthless. I tried Clik valves out and immediately realized how much better they are. Now I can't wait for this to become the standard for bicycles. I've replaced valve cores on my most-used wheels, and will work my way through the other wheelsets as I can. Hopefully these will come down in price, and we will get more pumps that provide native support.

My pocket electric pump warns that if you're using it to top off tires that it should be started before connecting it to a tire or it could prematurely wear out the pump motor. I found it awkward to connect a running pump, and thought of these. These complete the solution if you're planning to use an electric pump to top off tires. But even if you're using a hand pump, these make connecting and disconnecting just a little easier. Even my Luddite brother was impressed.

The Clik valve makes my ride much easier than the Presta valve,faster and easier!!

Much better than presta. Do you really need this? Probably not. But I'm sure most cyclists buy less important things for far more money. So why not? It works. It's convenient. It's easy. There's no reason to not use this, unless you can't afford it.

replacing cores on my fat tubes. works great.

I just changed all 9 of my bike over to this. It's great not having to screw, unscrew and rescrew the presta valves every time I need to fill my tires. They seem to fill much quicker. We'll see how they deal with sealant, but so far so good'

I rotate among three bikes and I often bend the core stems because at 78 years old it is sometimes difficult to get solid connection with the valve stem. This core makes inflation idiot proof

I'm tired of the classic presta valve getting slow. Read about these and they have been very good. Only have half a year on them.
