As anyone who has used Presta valves knows, they have their shortcomings. The biggest one for me is the tendency for the locknut stem to bend when a pump head is attached or removed, resulting in a wonky seal. The problem is compounded by the various pump head locking mechanisms that typically require force on a lever in the exact axis to bend the locknut stem. The Clik system solves this once and for all with a simple push-on/pull-off, and this pump head is low profile. (Parents: this means it works great for tiny kids' bike wheels in conjunction with the Schrader to Clik adapters!) Now if it just had a small bleed valve for fine tuning tire pressure, it would be perfect!
These Clik Valve caps are exactly what I was looking for. They work precisely as advertised. Just click them on and pull them off. The aluminium build feels high quality, and it makes checking tire pressure much faster since I don't have to fiddle with **** caps on and off.
Highly recommended!!
The little wrench supplied with the cores is a simple fit for core removal and insertion. Less than a minute per valve. Clik quality as always!
