76 Projects HI FLOW 'No Clog' Tubeless Valves

£24.50

What 76 Projects has created here, while fiddly to install, works incredibly well. For a very reasonable price, they deliver more airflow faster, making tubeless tyres that bit easier to set up, but you'll have to be careful with your rim tape.

Who here has gone to set up a tubeless system and found that they just can't get enough air into the tyre to seat a pesky bead? We've got a few tales of bicep-burning struggles, but these valves could help.

76 Projects has redesigned the Presta valve that mountain bikers, gravel riders, and roadies alike have come to know and love. The change in design hasn’t come without good cause, however, as with tubeless tyre setups being the norm, sealant clogged Presta valves have been quick to follow. Thus, the HI FLOW ‘No Clog’ Valve was created.

While looking much like your humble Presta valve, a lot is going on here. The small bulge near the top of the valve is home to a short but wide plunger that allows for more air and sealant to pass through simply because there’s more space for it to enter.

There is a slightly different installation method, but it's not that hard to do. The price is good and these valves may just spell the death of Presta.
