Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these valves be used with Schrader-drilled rims?

Yes, the included conic adapter allows the valve to seat correctly in both Presta and Schrader-drilled rim holes.

How do I remove the valve core?

Use the slotted end of the provided aluminum valve cap as a tool to unscrew the core from the valve stem.

Are these valves compatible with valve extensions?

Yes, the removable core design is compatible with standard tubeless-specific valve extensions.

Should I use pliers to tighten the valve nut?

No, you should only tighten the valve nut by hand to prevent damaging the rim or stripping the threads of the valve stem.

What is the primary material of the valves?

The valves are constructed from a durable, lightweight aluminum alloy.

Troubleshooting

Air leaking from the base of the valve

Check if the nut on the outside is tight and ensure the rubber conic adapter is not pinched or misaligned inside the rim.

Difficulty injecting sealant through the valve

Remove the valve core using the integrated tool in the cap and clear any dried sealant blockage from the stem using a thin wire or pick.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength aluminum alloy prevents breakage
  • Removable core allows for easy sealant injection
  • Versatile design fits most rim profiles
  • All-in-one kit includes necessary installation hardware
  • Integrated tool in cap simplifies field maintenance

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment of the conic adapter for initial seal
  • Aluminum construction is lighter but requires care when tightening to avoid stripping threads
  • May require extra tightening if rim hole is significantly larger than the valve stem

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the valve stem through the rim hole and ensure the rubber conic adapter is seated firmly against the interior wall of the rim. Slide the O-ring and nut onto the exterior of the valve stem, tightening by hand until the base is secure. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the rubber seal or the rim tape.

Compatibility: These valves are designed to work with both standard Presta and Schrader-drilled rims. The system is also fully compatible with standard tubeless valve extensions if you are running deep-section aerodynamic wheels.

Care: Periodically remove the valve core to clear any dried sealant buildup. If you notice a slow leak, ensure the valve nut is snug and check that the core is properly tightened. Replace the O-ring if it shows signs of cracking or hardening due to chemical exposure from certain sealants.
