Product Information

Full details

The Schwalbe SCV17 Clik Valve Inner Tube is designed for daily commuters and long-distance touring cyclists who prioritize ease of maintenance and reliable air retention on 28-inch (700c) wheels. Its standout benefit is the proprietary Clik Valve system, which allows for effortless, two-finger inflation without the typical air loss associated with traditional valves. However, users should note that while the valve is unique, it requires becoming familiar with the new connection method compared to standard Presta valves.

FAQs

Does the Clik Valve require a special pump?

No, the Clik Valve is designed to be backwards compatible with standard Presta pump heads.

What tire sizes does the SCV17 fit?

It is designed for 28-inch wheels with ETRTO dimensions of 28/47-622/635.

Can I use this for road racing?

While durable, this tube is optimized for trekking and commuting. Its weight of 140g is intended for durability rather than ultralight racing performance.

Is the valve length adjustable?

No, this specific model comes with a fixed 40mm valve length.

How heavy is the inner tube?

The tube weighs approximately 140g.

Troubleshooting

Pump head does not seal onto the Clik Valve.

Ensure your pump head is designed for Presta valves and pushed fully onto the connector; verify no debris is inside the valve.

Tube is losing air quickly after installation.

Check for pinch flats during installation and inspect the tire casing for small glass or thorns that may have caused an immediate puncture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your rim hole is compatible with the standard Presta-sized diameter of the Clik Valve base.

Check Compatibility: Confirm your tire ETRTO is between 28/47-622/635.
Installation: Insert the tube into the tire as you would a standard inner tube, ensuring it is not twisted.
Inflation: Attach your Presta-compatible pump head directly to the Clik Valve; the design allows for easy attachment and removal without losing air.
Maintenance: Periodically check for debris inside the valve opening and store spare tubes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve rubber integrity.
