Like many others, I’ve been less than thrilled with presta valves for a long time but they are so ubiquitous, you just make do with them despite their flaws. I recently read a compelling review on Bike Rumor covering Clik Valve and decided to take the leap. I bought a starter kit, multiple additional cores, and an aluminum pump head. The cores were very easy to swap out and install. My first impression with the adapter was that it felt secure clicking on, the pump gauge gave me instant status, and inflated faster. The release allowed a few psi to escape but I chalked that up to the legacy pump head. Then, I converted my floor pump with the aluminum pump head. Wow! Even better results. The click on was solid, even better inflation, and the release was better with perhaps 1 psi loss. This is my only critical point. I was hoping for essentially zero loss on release but I can live it. Overall, an amazing product for a great value, and awesome alternative to presta. I’m never going back!
Recently converted all six of our bikes from Presta to Clik, and couldn’t be happier. Easy to install the cores in our old Presta valve stems, and the $15 adapter works great on our electric pumps. No more finicky, fragile Presta cores to deal with—just click on and go! Great product!!
Super happy with these Clik Valves. I have converted all of my bikes.
