We love: I would have never have spent £35 on some presta valves, my existing valves did just fine and I didn't see the point. Then I was given a set to try, and now I don't know why I put up with clogged valves for so long.
Pressure used to back up in the track pump, I'd be waiting for the guage to settle on a reading as the air slowly forced it's way past a gummy valve - lots of pressure at the handle. Letting air out would be just as slow. None of this was exactly ruining my day, but not how it's meant to be. These Fillmore valves just work, every time.
If none of this makes sense to you, if you don't experience what I'm on about, then move on - you don't need them. If it makes sense, add them to your basket. One less little bit of irritation in your life for £35 :)

Everything else on our bikes has evolved astronomically throughout the years. The only thing that has stayed the same is Presta valves. With tubeless tyres being the norm now, it seems that valves need to catch up and make our life easier for fitting tubeless systems. For nearly a century (that's right! A CENTURY) Presta valves have remained the same, it's time for something new.
Introducing the Fillmore valve from our friends at Reserve. They're rewriting the future of tubeless systems, with a completely new take on tubeless valve design. The patented Reserve Fillmore valve is a game-changing leap forward in technology, with a design that eliminates the traditional, delicate, clog-inciting valve core of yesteryear.
FEATURES
AIRFLOW- 3 times standard Presta airflow, easing tubeless tire set-up and reducing pumping force.
NO CLOGGING- Patented poppet-style design eliminates clogging by shielding air hole from contact with sealant
SIMPLICITY- Ability to inject sealant without removal of valve core simplifies maintenance
ADJUSTABLE- Micro-air adjustment feature allows for precise trail-side pressure changes
