I'm an accidental convert to Clik valves. Neither my frame pump nor my Lezyne floor pump was able to adequately grip the unthreaded stems of the presta valves on my latex tubes. In doing an Internet search for a presta valve pump head that wouldn't blow off a smooth valve shank at 70 p.s.i., I soon noticed all the buzz around Clik valves. It seemed like an ideal solution: since the pump adapter only engages with the replaced valve core, the security of that connection has nothing to do with whether the valve stem is threaded or not. Bingo!
I considered getting a replacement pump head, but this adapter seemed the most versatile option. It screws right into the
Shraeder side of my flip adapter and allows me to continue using my pressure bleeder. When I'm done with a ride, I plug my floor pump back onto the valves and depressurize them to 20 p.s.i. in about 3 seconds, reading the target resting pressure right off the pump dial (latex tubes last much longer if you depressurize them between rides). If I need a legacy presta valve connection, it's as simple as unscrewing the Clik adapter and flipping the Lezyne adapter to the presta side. I highly recommend this system to anyone who rides with latex tubes. It greatly simplifies the daily routine
I have bought other similar looking gauges that were touted as great. But delivered subpar results after a short time. This gauge has a more solid feel and better construction. It is accurate. It is easy to read. And the storage case allows it remain in the car without collecting dirt.
I have now made a full swap over for my bicycle and all of the spare TPU tubes I have . I have also assembled a full set of native hand, Co2 and stand pumps for clik from their partners at SKS, Lezyne, Schwalbe and Fumpa. Now that you can go full native there is no reason not to go with the better system.
The new dust caps are great - and now with some colors - I love the red. The incorporated valve spanner is Much better and important!
