Anyone else a big fan of the newish Schwalbe Clikvalves? Just switched to them on all my bikes and then by accident found out that the conversion pump head screws perfectly into my electical pump. 💆

Might want to use a little hose between the valve and the pump. These pumps get really hot…
I love them, but I learned the hard way that it’s possible to accidentally slightly loosen the Clik head from the valve stem. Will always give it a clockwise twist from now on.
Yeah I run it and really like it. Cheapest quality of life upgrade there ks
Yes.
I am still looking for the problem that this wonder should solve.
I have not found it yet, but I won´t give up.
Where do you buy Clik valve cores in bulk? The only offerings I see are for pairs and they’re quite expensive compared to regular Presta valves
I hate being an early adopter, it’s usually never worth it. Ask me in a couple of years 🤣
Tried it and loved it until one of them became leaky on a long ride. They can clog up with sealant and not seal properly anymore, so be aware.
They are the best. I’ve changed all of my bikes and wheels to Clik and am happy I did
Don’t drink and ride.Â
I installed them and am going to replace with standard presta. They don’t work with my hand pump, they don’t work with my pressure gauge. I don’t know why I bought em, thought it would be an improvement but the way I see it I just bought into adapters.
I’ve never in my 15 years of cycling had a presta valve break or fail. Why did I buy this clik ðŸ«
Yes. Amazing. My mini electric pump works too without adapter, and reads the pressure as soon as I put it on.
My only complaint is that in Europe, the selection of accessories/adapters is very limited. We don’t get better caps than the rubber ones, and Schwalbe’s adapters are all plastic. [Clickvalve.com](http://Clickvalve.com) have much better offer, but shipping+fees to Europe are extortionate.
I ended up switching back to presta after a couple mishaps, namely around sealant getting stuck in the valve and causing the valve to stay open and leak air. Luckily that happened in my garage and not on a ride. Also the conversion head broke pretty easily. Overall a cool concept but they just aren’t as reliable as presta.Â
My girlfriends valves always screw themself out if I screw the pump out. So I installed these and they are great.
Going from a leyzne pump that had to screw on for everything to clik valves was an absolute game changer
Especially when putting air in the tires in subzero temps commuting to work in the winter
