Awesome to hear about the customer support, and glad you have it sorted out!
Interesting to hear about clogging issues. Can't say I've had any on Presta or Clik... yet...
Told my friend that bought my Fathom E+2 about the Clik valves. He immediately got some because he has had trouble with Presta.
He's absolutely sold on them now.
Ratburgers... I saw one vid where the guy installed the Clik while the tire was still letting air out (I let all the air out first). So far I haven't had a bead let loose, but different tires/rims I suppose...
Bummer about the D2, and best of luck with disassembly.
Hope your hunt goes well with...
