Arthritis in my hands has made operating a lever type pump head difficult. I converted a couple of my bikes to clik valves and one of my pumps. Valve attachment and removal is simple and easy for my weakened hands. Valves hold air well. I’ve yet to try the valves with a standard presta pump, my understanding is it should work. I just need to convert the rest of my bikes and pumps. In other words I’m glad I converted.
I am so impressed with the improvement that Clik values provide. This kit gives you everything you need to get started and it all just works perfectly. I have multiple bikes and have now switch all to Clik because it's just better, no question.
I got into the system because I have kids - even my 4 year old can operate clik.
I've found that I really like the ease compared to presta - the combination of the pop cap and the click pump attachment vs. needing to unscrew a few things etc. seems small, but it's convenient.
My topeak pumps like "road morph g" depress the clik's pin, so the gauge reads correctly, so long as the pump head is pushed to maximum depth.
Not a fan, they leak and aren’t easy to get an airhose fitting onto.
