I have these valves on all my bikes, and they are awesome. I've started giving the starter kit to my friends as a present to get them started, and so far, everyone who has installed them has loved them, and they end up buying more valves for their other bikes. This kit is the perfect way to get someone who is normally reluctant to try Clik valves to finally give it a try. It eliminates the excuses. Awesome product.
Im a clik fan now sfter 18 mo of use
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.
