Reviews Ive seen for those fancy reserve Fillmore valves are all quite positive.Presta is too damn small to pass enough air, then just a little blockage and it’s done. Stans are horrible…but so are others.
i always just remove the valve cores to fill and/or clean and seat beads. super easy.Presta is too damn small to pass enough air, then just a little blockage and it’s done. Stans are horrible…but so are others.
Which works with an air compressor, but then that becomes necessary equipment to own a bike? That’s ridiculous, it shouldn’t come to that. I’ve got the charger style bontrager pump that can’t move enough air to work specifically because of valve restriction. Therefore, it’s actually easier for me to use a regular HV floor pump, as in if it won’t fill with that, it damn sure won’t fill with the air tank thing and all that does is run out of air. 99% of pumps aren’t designed to work without the core.i always just remove the calve cores to fill and/or clean and seat beads. super easy.
I don’t know of anything that can really clean out latex (without melting skin or something). You can sometimes get some strings/pieces out, but it just gets worse over time. It takes a while, but cores become a wear item and eventually the stem gets too restricted in my experience.i always just remove the calve cores to fill and/or clean and seat beads. super easy.

What website is that action recorded for? Asking for a friend.I like it when I can’t hear anything and me and at least one buddy are covered in tubeless milk.
I've got a Topeak pump which has the built in air chamber that you fill to 160psi to blow the tire on with, it seems to always work.Which works with an air compressor, but then that becomes necessary equipment to own a bike?

Sounds like tubes might be for you.Which works with an air compressor, but then that becomes necessary equipment to own a bike? That’s ridiculous, it shouldn’t come to that.

Naw, I figured it out:Sounds like tubes might be for you.
i'd be curious to see a head to head comparison between those and the reserve ones. especially since the 76d ones are claimed to be insert compatible. and less expensiveI have some of the 76 designs high flow valves. They work nice, just suggest a pump with a locking chuck on it.

Either we have different definitions of the word "like" or you are a masochist. Do you "Like" when it gets in your eye? Is that fun? Lol

I have a set of the 76 Designs. Clog free after a year or so. However the required adapter for my thread on mini pump kind of stresses me out.thread revival... dealing with clogged valves is getting old. bending stem-cores is also a pain. looking for something that will work with Spank rims (stoopid Oobah profile), and with inserts.
Seems like 76 designs are the best bet? Any experience with the Fillmores and inserts?
do you use them with inserts? what's the deal with the adapter?I have a set of the 76 Designs. Clog free after a year or so. However the required adapter for my thread on mini pump kind of stresses me out.
No inserts. Regular clamp on type pumps work with them just fine, but they don't have the same threaded part that a normal presta valve does, so if you have a thread on pump you need an adaptor.do you use them with inserts? what's the deal with the adapter?
I have had the 76 designs valves for a while now. They for sure have a great flow rate and have not clogged. I am using an insert in the rear.thread revival... dealing with clogged valves is getting old. bending stem-cores is also a pain. looking for something that will work with Spank rims (stoopid Oobah profile), and with inserts.

Other options on the market now are eThirteen and Funn... any word on those?
