Product Focus: Revolutionary Reserve Fillmore Valves
12th April 2024 | 0 comments
What can be improved on the valve? Reserve's groundbreaking innovation shows that in today's tubeless age, proper innovation like this was needed like salt.
The existing valves used on bicycles originated in the 19th century and have not changed since. But everything else about today's bike has long since changed, so it's about time we did something about that archaism too!
Introducing Reserve Fillmore Valves
These are without exaggeration revolutionary valves that let in three times more air than the standard Presta valve. They don't clog with sealant and are easy to use. Installation and maintenance of tubeless tires and pressure adjustment is now easier and the worry of a clogged valve will be a thing of the past!
Better Throughput
Three times a flow of a standard Presta valve means that you don't have to remove anything from the valve when installing a tubeless valve and can just install the tire bead into the rim. Usually without the need for a special booster or the invention of PET bottles.
And when you need to refill the milk? Again, without removing the inner valve and without the risk of unplanned painting all over the rim.
Say Goodbye to Clogged Valves
Another advantage of the Fillmore's new patented valve design is that by placing the valve saddle on the bottom, you don't have to worry about clogging from the tubeless milk. This is almost a certainty in the case of the Presta. Today's sealants can plug holes so big that it just doesn't work with the tiny through-hole of a Presta valve.
Easy Usability
Getting the tire pressure right is the foundation of any ride. Fillmore valves make it easier! You simply back off the cap, depress by pushing, and you are done. It makes it easy to make even very subtle pressure changes. No more fiddling with a tiny lock nut like before. And the risk of bending the internal thread will be a thing of the past.
Because Reserve believes in this innovation, it offers a lifetime warranty on Fillmore valves for manufacturing and material defects for the first owner.
