Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

[DaveMatthews]

i’ve very much enjoyed inflating with the cliks. it’s so much factor and more satisfying!

on both my road bikes. air loss is very minimal between rides but i also refreshed the sealant when i installed the cliks. both tubeless of course

on my commuter, somehow the process of screwing in the clik adapter has made the rear tire leakier. annoying. maybe the twisting created a small leak at the junction of the valve stem and tube.

I might be reading this wrong, but I wonder what would happen if you swapped the Cliks front and rear? Curious to know if the problem followed to the front tire.

Just learned about the new Schwalbe-backed bike tire valve standard called "Clik" from this video, starting at 11:05:

Anybody tried Cliks yet? Can they really just replace your presta cores?

If you want to see why a new valve standard like Clik might be a good idea, watch from the beginning — especially if presta valves give you murderous thoughts. Interesting history along the way.

I installed Click valves on my Specialized Creo 2 and Trek Checkpoint gravel bikes 6 month ago. Absolutely brilliant game changer, no messing with Presta bent valve pin, poor sealing etc. I use MucOff sealant added through the valve, with core removed. I ride with a Cycplus Max electric pump. Click valves support faster inflation., no fiddly screwing and loss of air. It's a no-brainer, get rid of Presta!

I've been using Presta since the late 70's and I figure there's nothing out there that dramatically improves this valve. Since those days, I've personally seen so much as I moved in and out of bicycling and into other cardio-oriented sports/hobbies: Index shifting.....I bought into the Shimano BioPace deal...... aero wheel covers.......and finally, getting back into the game to find actual hydraulic disc brakes(!), lightweight fat tires of 4 plus inches width.......onto ebikes designed and manufactured by one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world (Yamaha).

The ONLY issue I've had with Presta's over the years are my hand-hams sometimes overtightening the plastic cap, stripping the threads...... I'll stay with my tried and true Prestas.

Interesting comparison to the new BBB Corecap...

jeez there's another one?!

Yup, guess so, among a couple of others.
I suppose a good idea creates competition.

I can see a place for the BBB valve, but I'll stick with my Cliks.

The main BBB downside for me: I'd still be futzing with that !@#%^&* Shrader lever — which I find even more annoying than futzing with Presta valves.

With Cliks, I'm not futzing with anything. Soooo easy to keep the tires topped up now.

100% agreed.
No need/desire to change from Clik to anything else, and zero desire to go back...

Just gotta say how quick and easy it is, losing air after significant puncture on tubeless with sealant/ air loss. With Click and battery powered inflator, literally less than 30 sec to add some air. Click cover caps are push-pull fit.
I can fit the inflator to Click at most wheel positions whereas Presta I'd may have to turn wheel because of fiddly attachment.

Yup, good point. My son went tubeless and back to tubes, but kept the Cliks on because "They're so much easier".
