Reserve fillmore tubeless valves

[Likes2ridefar]

Edited after a few years now. We mostly now know of the high flow, expensive valves that are superior for tubeless setups.

Why? It’s easier to seat a tire with a floor pump. Still no clogs to this day for me with 6 or so sets in rotation for a few years. It’s easier to pump on a Daily basis due to increased flow. It’s much faster to release air.
Drawbacks are the price, reserve are fragile on the tips, reserve cap is easy to lose and should be but isn’t absolutely required to use, no dip stick for sealant checks, and while you can insert most sealants through them I personally still don’t.

I prefer using reserve valves and have decided 76 projects are 2nd choice even though if you read through this thread I had settled on them for a time. I actually like the 76 better still and have them on an active mtb wheelset, but they don’t work with my hand pump and many floor pumps; though they work perfectly fine with my own specialized floor pumps.

There are other valves entering the market, and I’ll be likely to try some once I can get a hold of them. Muc off, Stan’s, trek, to name a few.

Not to be snarky, but at that price they darn well better work as expected, if not better. Glad you're happy with them (so far).

Good report.

If they legit work better than their competitors and save a little aggravation and maintenance woes the $50 price tag isn't THAT egregious considering the valves of our wheels are something we interact with very frequently.

keep us posted on long term use.

Not to derail the topic, I was hesitant to pull the trigger on these, so when I saw a similar product from Terske (https://cyclingtips.com/2020/06/ters...pectedly-good/) on sale I decided to buy. I’ll wait until I have to swap out valves to install.

It's not the same and it's the valve core that clogs and hardly ever the stem.

the value is will they work better on the road. I've broken value cores when I've had fix a flat on the road. I even had spare valve cores and they just didn't play well with the pump and had to call for a ride home. I've tossed the pump but still struggle on the road. If 50 bucks for valves will get me home, it's worth it.

Looks like they only work in up to 28mm deep rims, I wonder if they will make a taller (and silver?) option in the future.

I’d be interested if they made them for higher profile rims. I’m need 80mm valve stems on my high-profile gravel and road rims. These are a non starter.

The cost is high, but even Muc-off tubeless stems are $30. If these worked as advertised and made installation and maintenance easier, I could see splurging.

Aren't these titanium? How does Ti hold up to various sealants VS Alloy? My brain sez better, especially if ammonia based. And if steel by comparison in a long valve, does that not warrant the conversation of wheel balance effect.

Am I barking up right trees with these points/questions?

Dredging this thread because I hadn't heard of these until very recently. But needed valves for a new set of wheels.

Audaciously expensive, but the ease of setup alone was worth the cost of entry. Anyone else have any long long term experience with them?
