Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

[Jeremy McCreary]

Nicely done! I'm still tickled pink with mine and I hope you feel the same.

I'm over a month into my Cliks now and nothing but happy about it.

I kinda think they made a winner here. Seems about bloody time!

I just floor this guy as the little tool was such a pain. I may cut it short

Welp... we're pretty much into October now, and that makes 5 months into Clik valve usage, and many kms of riding/experience.
Not gonna lie, I wish these things were available years ago.
The weekly loss of air is way down, minimal at most. I think I'm down to needing air maybe 3 to 4 weeks instead of weekly/two weeks.
That and the ease of filling and not needing to undo that stupid effing collar is bliss!
Presta had a good 100 year run, and I'm done. YMMV

Five months into my Cliks as well. Post-Presta life is good. Don't miss 'em a bit.

Have to air up my tubeless tires more often than you do, but the rate's no different than it was pre-Clik. It's so easy now, who cares?

Anyone else carrying a Shrader adapter for emergency air — e.g. from another rider or gas station? Not that I've ever needed that.

Yes, I can imagine your tire pressure level being higher than mine at 30psi. If you're tubeless I would think that the culprit more than valve related?
But... the convenience... the ease of adding air... the lack of need for me to find a tool to open the valve...
No regrets, no way back.

I run 35-40 psi front and rear. Pretty sure my background air loss is mainly at the rim seals.

been pretty happy with them too. I had one time where the valve would not close and let the air out but it did not repeat. the tires fill faster too and my oressure gauge is always right on with presta sometimes it took a bit or it would not read rigt till you started pumping. if you need ot let the air out use one of the adaptors without the hose works great.

 

[DaveMatthews]

Great to hear.
We've been so conditioned/exposed to the norm that this change seems a tad radical, but to me it's about time...
