I'm adding these to all my under saddle tool bags so that I my e-pumps and CO2 cartridge pumps can be used with the Clik valves on my bikes
We've been fussing with Presta since 1890. Clik valves are where it's at. Solves an everyday annoyance.
So far these valves have been pretty plu-and-play with all of my bikes. They work well, and provide clear feedback that your pump is locked-on.
I converted multiple bikes to Clik valves several months ago and was initially very impressed. The ease of use is excellent, and when they work, they’re by far my favorite form of MTB valve. (I was previously using Filmore valves.)
The trouble is that they clog; some valves more quickly than others for some reason. I have tried every suggestion in the FAQs, from using all manner of angles when inflating and deflating, to soaking in alcohol, etc. But when you air up your tire and the valve sticks open and you can’t make it close, it’s extremely frustrating.
When there’s a way to make these clog less easily, I’ll be back.
Clik as a company has been wonderful to deal with, by the way. If it weren’t for the clogging, these would be a five-star product.
These are both a welcome functional change as well as a perfect aesthetic upgrade to all of my bikes! I can now ride out to a gravel ride with road pressure and then more easily drop to gravel-specific pressure without pulling out a multi-tool or something else to carefully bleed pressure.
As almost 100% of my cycling is with my wife, when I’m inflating/topping of one bike, I’m doing two. That’s 2 mountain bikes, road/trainer bikes, and cruisers. It’s a chore I definitely don’t love, even using power inflators, due to the tediousness of unscrewing/rescrewing cap and valve x 4. First world problem I know, but still something I’d rather spend less time doing. Plenty of times, I don’t even bother on every ride.
Clik valves really are a game changer! They’ve taken something I often skip to something that one could call fun and I will be happy to do before every ride. I’ve already converted all but our beach cruisers but will eventually convert the too. I especially love that Presta pumps will still work in the event I find myself in need without one of my Clik equipped tools.
I’m totally happy with these Quik-Caps. They’ve basically solved the most annoying minor task on my bike by making it a simple push-on, pull-off situation. No more tedious threading or fumbling around with tiny parts. The aluminum build feels high-quality and way more solid than plastic, and they stay locked in place even when the ride gets rough. If you want a quick upgrade that actually makes life easier, these are a total win.
You need two for each bike in your collection. Double that for each bike with road & gravel wheels. Add another for each backup tube you have in all those saddlebags. Put a pair on your trainer bike's wheels: it needs to get outside now and then. What about your kids bike(s). And your partners? The N+1 bike will need at least 2 more. If you have Fillmore TL stems imagine your horror when deep in the weeds you realize your bike pump has been configured for Clik valves for months and those Fillmore stems can't accept a Clik valve. Think ahead. 16 valves and caps are probably nowhere near enough.
Replaced the presta valves on all of my bikes and have been really pleased with the conversion. First off, really easy to do. Second, the inflation rate is noticeably higher. Third, no more futzing around with stuck or bent presta valve cores.
I wanted to switch to Clik valves, but didn't want to have to buy all new pumps for our fleet of 11 bicycles. But this adapter is perfect, as it allows me to simply **** it into the ABS chuck on my Lezyne pumps to use with my Clik rigged bikes, but still have the option to use the chuck with any Presta or Schrader valves I come across. It made the difference, and I am in the process of switching our whole fleet over to Clik valves.
Turn it on, and let it settle. It displays two quick dash characters at the level of the units the readings will be in (psi, kPa, or bar). Click the tiny gauge onto the valve: it stays put. Hands free operation. Relax and set up your pump, or fill an injector with 2 sealant if the tire's going TL. No hassles like with a Presta valve. It reports the pressure in one of three units. To get to your preferred units, say psi, click the button to move through them one at a time. The pressure is accurate. You don't lose tire pressure by taking a reading. When you're done, click the gauge off the valve. Put the dust cap back on. Enjoy your ride. It's amazing. It's so easy to use you don't need much of the dexterity and strength you used to have. Tell your friends. Send a Clik starter package to each one. Get the word out.
I agreed with the reviews I read that most don’t have problems with presta valves. Once you try Clik you won’t regret it or miss anything about presta.
If you use a compressor and the Park, Pedros, or Arundel (my fav) shop inflator, this is the piece you need. I was skeptical that the Slip Fit Adaptor would stay attached to the shop inflator, but it totally does. Attach, inflate, detatch. All with much less force and precise alignment than needed w Presta. Fantastic!
I really don't mind Presta valves. I have a pack of replacements $0.50 a piece. I change them annually or when I bend one (more frequently than annually). I have a compressor, so no tubeless issues.
But, I am a sucker for new and shiny things, so I tried Clik on a whim. OMG they are amazing. They seal immediately, no more wiggling the pump head and fiddling with getting an airtight seal. They fill faster and allow more precise pressure adjustments. No removing a valve cap (on my MTBs) then unscrewing the mini Presta ****, no more bending the valve.
Click valves just plain work!
Work real good
The Clik valve system is a true innovation that makes biking easier. I installed the cores and easily attached the pump head. Works so well, all the bikes in our household are changing over. I'm also impressed with the valve stems, the thoughtful 5mm slot to hold the valve stem from the top and 4mm in base to install. Cheers, well done.
Was getting tired of tubeless sealant clogging Presta valves/difficulties pumping up tires every ride. Saw Velo Product of Year award and decided to give Clik a shot. Simple change, works as advertised with pump head adapter. Have had no clogs, no issues pumping, morning ride routine reduced to about 30 seconds. Great product!
The adapter fits perfectly with a Prestaflator GO. I recommend this adapter for Clik quick connect.
Dealing with the presta valves at the beginning of each ride was one of the most annoying tasks. Sealant often got in the valve and made unscrewing the presta a nightmare. Then, the air lost while putting on and taking off the pump made pressures incredibly inaccurate. The Clik Valves fixed all of this! I'm only upset I waited so long to do this.
Had a tire that just kept leaking. Thought it might need to clean and reseal a new tubeless. The presta valve was not stiff, seemed fine. Decided to try a Click valve core. It hold air now!! My road bike has TPU tubes and would have to fill with air regularly. Now with click valve cores. I now rarely have to put air in the tires. Simply put, Click has put new life in my tubes and old tubeless stems.
Simple no fuss messing with unscrewing the presta valve. Simply push the adapter onto the valve until it cliks. When finished just pull off.
Great quailty! Easy to fit. Keep up the innovative products
I bought this to make using my mini electric pump easier to use on our MTBs. Combining this with the Clik valves and using the pump is now a breeze. I couldn't be more pleased with all the products I have purchased from Clik.
