Product Information
Full details
The Reserve Fillmore Tubeless Valves are designed for mountain, gravel, and cyclocross riders seeking a more efficient and reliable tubeless tire setup. They offer significantly increased airflow for easier tire mounting and inflation, a revolutionary self-clearing poppet to prevent clogs, and precise micro-adjustments for perfect tire pressure. The only caveat is their suitability for rims up to 28mm deep, making them less ideal for very wide downhill rims.

FAQs
Are the Fillmore valves compatible with my existing pump?
Yes, the Fillmore valves are designed to work with all standard Presta pump heads.
Can I use sealant with these valves?
Absolutely. The Fillmore valves are designed to work with tubeless sealants. Their self-clearing poppet helps prevent clogs from sealant.
What is the maximum rim depth these valves are designed for?
These valves are recommended for rims up to 28mm deep.
How do I adjust my tire pressure precisely?
Unscrew the outer threaded cap slightly. You can then release air in very small increments by gently pressing the poppet or unscrewing the cap further for faster release.
Do I need special tools to install them?
You will need a tool to tighten the locknut, typically a small wrench or pliers, and a tool to remove the old valve if applicable. Standard bike tools are usually sufficient.
Will these valves help me seat my tire bead faster?
Yes, the significantly increased airflow allows for much faster inflation, which is crucial for seating the tire bead properly.
How do I clean the Fillmore valves?
You can rinse them with water. Ensure they are thoroughly dried afterward. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Valve won't hold air
Ensure the locknut is securely tightened on the rim and the valve core is properly seated. Check for any damage to the valve stem or rim bed.
Difficulty seating tire bead
Ensure the Fillmore valve is fully open (unscrewing the cap completely) to maximize airflow. Use a compressor or high-volume pump for initial seating.
Sealant is clogging the valve
The Fillmore's self-clearing poppet is designed to prevent this. If clogs occur, try gently flushing the valve with water and ensuring the poppet moves freely. Repeated clogs might indicate sealant issues or incompatible sealant types.
Air leaks around the valve stem
Re-tighten the locknut securing the valve to the rim. Inspect the rim tape for damage and ensure a good seal between the valve base and the rim tape.
