I snuck inside and grabbed a third muesli bar, as my avatar was speedtucking down the Alpe.
Turns out I didn't need it.
Reserve’s new valves. More airflow, less chance of clogging. $50USD straight conversion is $67.55 with local tax probably closer to $80 for a pair of valves. Ouch!!

Aha just came to post these. Not cheap but kinda cool regardless. No commentary about whether/how well they work with tyre inserts.
Edit: spoke to soon. Sounds logical, wonder how well it’ll go in practice
Yeah agree they are an improvement but the price is a big barrier. Just have to wait for Ali Express versions to pop up!

Are they an improvement? Presta allows you to remove the core for max airflow and replace the core in the case of blockages. Looks like another expensive solution in search of a problem.
It does things better but whether you need those improvements is another thing.
Letting air out without removing air cap is cool, injecting sealant without removing valve core and increased air flow to seat tubeless. I have never had a clogged valve so that doesn’t bother me and if I cannot get a tyre to seat, valve core out and blast with air compressor.
So it is improved but I am not fitting new tyres or topping up sealant or needing to drop air pressure to need this but like the thinking!

Sounds to me like we need a new valve standard
I'll email specialized!

Interesting. Did a gooGle and there is tubeless Schrader. I didn’t know that. You do learn something everyday!
If they made the valve cap have a little knob so I could drop some PSI trail side I might be convinced.
And SRAM! We can have the 28.99 valveSounds to me like we need a new valve standard

Ha but you have to find the right twig. Not too big and not small. First world problems.

On my first ever dual-suspension ride (hire bike Trek Remedy) I tried that on the rear shock which was setup a bit too firm. It was a very plush ride back to the car...

A bump on a valve cap isn’t gronkproof eitherOn my first ever dual-suspension ride (hire bike Trek Remedy) I tried that on the rear shock which was setup a bit too firm. It was a very plush ride back to the car...
Ha, well I am going for ease of use. No fishing around in packs for the 2mm Allen key no searching trail side for the perfect twig, just unscrew valve cap flip, release some air, screw back on.
EDIT - Oh and don’t mention using a small rock either….

Rock? You butcher. Was thinking stone/gravel.
That’s the word I was looking for, brain not braining today!
