Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

[Rás Cnoic]

Had to look up that onboard tyre inflation deflation. It was at last year's Gravel worlds that it was displayed. They are very far along with it:

I can understand that.
That said, I do not have a huge fleet of bicycles, I just have one. And if this innovation works, life will be slightly less of a PITA.

For sure. Their first party valves and pump heads are reasonably priced at least. If you have a small collection it could be worth a shot if you want to try it.

Everybody in my community uses Presta valves (tubed or tubeless), and no one reports issues with the type. Any modern sporty bike comes with Presta. I myself have never experienced any problems with this type of valve.
It is so sad to see how a reactionary influential youtuber is gaslighting his viewers. According to Seth, you shall ride the 3x drivetrain, use Schrader valves and at best convert your existing MTB into an e-bike using Bimotal system. Now, you feel compelled to try the Click system.
I asked YouTube to never show me that stupid face again.

If Presta were so hopeless, it would be no reason for the industry to provide any expensive bike with this type of valve. Guys, please be reasonable.

Here's the thing: most people think that in order to inflate a tire with a Presta valve, you're going to need to unscrew the valve nut all the way out. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact it is doing just that - spinning the nut all the way out - that gives the air chuck/pump head the leverage to bend the valve stem as you attach it to and detach it from the valve. As soon as I realized what it was that I was doing wrong and stopped opening the nut all the way to pump up the tire, I no longer had any issues with bent valve stems. You only need to spin the nut out about one and a half to two turns to get full air flow through the valve and into the tire.

None of the fifty guys in this picture had anything else than Presta on their bike. I helped one of them to replace the inner tube during the ride.

Good Presta valve tip, but I just don't understand all this emotion over tire valves — and especially against Seth. I find him reasonable, careful, knowledgeable, and experienced. Here he presented the pros and cons of all the valves he covered.

Besides,

(everybody does it) ≠ (no room for improvement)

Presta valves are over 100 years old. Sure, they are a good design, and relatively simple. But to suggest there's no room or need for improvement on a 100 year old device makes no sense to me. Ebike? Who needs it! ABS in your car? Bollocks! Electronic shifting? Bah Humbug! VOIP instead of copper landlines? Poppycock! Etc...
That's just me...

Same. And Seth is entertaining. Not my favourite but he's a good presenter.

And of all the topics covered on this venerable site valves must be the dullest hill to die on.

A video on Clik is totally on brand for Seth. He covers past and up-and-coming tech pretty regularly.

Internet? Smartphones? EVs?

No one needs those!
