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. Last edited by Likes2ridefar; Yesterday at 04:32 PM.

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.

Reserve fillmore tubeless valves
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.

When you store your bike, do you put the valve stem between the 4 and 8 o'clock position? Any liquid sealant that gets up in there will drain out. I've never had a valve stem plug (plenty of cores though). Last edited by MikeD; 01-03-2022 at 01:25 PM.

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?
