Reserve fillmore tubeless valves

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.
