I have them on my MTB (We Are One Union Rims).
I’ve never really had a problem seating Maxxis MTB tires with just a floor pump and didn’t notice a difference with the Filmore valves. It definitely takes less pumps to fill a tire. You can shoot sealant easier through the valve without it getting clogged. On a standard tubeless valve, I just remove the core to do this so its not that much of an advantage.
Two big cons I have noticed
- They do not work with a Topeak D2 SmartGauge*. They may not work with any standard presta gauge. Their unique design basically applies too much force and you can’t get inner valve(?) to depress and let air into the gauge. * if you put a presta/schrader adapter on the valve and then use the D2 Smartgauge in schrader mode it kinda works but that’s a pain.
2.If you lose the valve cover/cap they come with, you are screwed because they are unique and you need them to keep the valve from getting bumped/losing air/filled with crud.
