Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

[Jeremy McCreary]

So far, so good at 3 weeks into the new Clik valve cores on my 38 mm tubeless tires.

The single automatic Presta/Schrader head on my Topeak Joe Blow floor pump clicks on easily. Unlike my Prestas, perfect seal first time, every time, and no need to hold the head in place just so to keep the seal. Well worth the $12 per pair on that front alone.

Takes a little more muscle to pull the head off, losing 1-2 psi in the process at 35-40 psi. My Prestas typically lost at least that much on disconnect. The Cliks are holding pressure for at least a week.

Took installation as an opportunity to top up sealant and probably overfilled the rear, as I couldn't get a clear dipstick reading there. No clogs so far.

Overall, the Cliks are looking like winners for the money. Since I don't need the separate $12 Shrader adapter at home, I carry it for emergency air at gas stations.

The final frontier: How will the Cliks work with a CO2 cartidge when the time comes?

Great to hear Jeremy!
I was hesitant to bug you about it (again) so thanks for the update!
Sounds like your experience is rather similar to mine. Are you using a Click adaptor on the Topeak Joe Blow?
Clik FTW!!!

No need with this pump. In fact, the connection's easier and more secure without the adapter.

Hoping the Topeak mini hand pump on the way works as well.

Yeah, the success rate for regular pump heads is higher than expected IMHO.
Which model mini pump did you order?

Topeak Mountain Twin Turbo Mini with gauge. Fingers crossed (1) that I can hang it directly under my rear top tube with a Wolf Tooth inline mount, and (2) that it's Clik-friendly.

Doesn’t using a standard presta pump, even though it fits the valve, defeat the purpose of the click-on connection you get with their Clik pump head?

That looks like a really nice one! Kinda looks like it'll work, but will wait for your review...
