When the included chuck is on the valve, does it let air flow out of the tire via a bleed valve on a pump? When I air up tires, I go some PSI higher than target, then bleed it down to the target pressure. The typical presta valve chuck keeps the valve open so that this works. I’ve been a long time…

From how I understand the system and my own (limited) experience with it so far: as soon as the pump head or any other clik adapter is put on the valve of the tire, it is open and will remain open until disconnected. This caused me a few initial surprises as I use an adapter instead of a dedicated c…

Not sure if I get your question. I have Clik Valves on our bikes now, and basically you fill them up to the exact pressure you want and then pull the pump. They do not really loose air unlike presta valves at that moment

[image] themikefish: Does you pump allow you to do this on Presta? and how about Schrader? Yes. There is a pin/protrusion in the chucks I have the keep the center pin of the Presta or Schrader valve depressed when it’s engaged, This lets air flow both ways. It’s the same on high pressure …

Thanks. From the responses it seems the chuck holds the valve open which is what I was asking and would prefer. So, do you all feel they work well? Prestas work well for me but it seems these would be a little more convenient.

Yep, with the Clik adapter on, it keeps the valve open so you can bleed pressure down using your pump’s bleed button. Just make sure you pull the adapter off before you undo any locking lever on the pump head or you can dump air fast.
