Ready for a revolution in the valve world? Click on and off you go: With the Schwalbe Clik Valve and the matching SKS CLIK TEC technology<\/a>, inflating tyres is child’s play! In this blog, we take you into a new age and show you how the SKS CLIK TEC products will make your everyday cycling life easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two fingers, one CLIK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the Schwalbe Clik Valve. John Quintana, the ingenious mastermind behind this valve, had a goal in mind with his invention: that his kids would be able to pump up their bike tyres themselves. The American tried out the system together with his children, who became enthusiastic testers. No wonder: The valve can be operated with two fingers and is fun. Great fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You feel it, you hear it, you love it!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But how does the air get into the tyre through the valve? As experts when it comes to air, we have developed the SKS CLIK TEC pump head<\/a>. With an audible click, you can attach it to the valve. Loss of pressure when removing it? No chance! And it gets even better: The air flow of the new pump head is 50% higher than that of conventional Presta valves. This means that setting up tubeless tyres finally becomes effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From CLIK to Kick<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With our pumps already equipped with the SKS CLIK TEC pump head, you\u2019re ready to go from the very first moment. The AIR-X-PLORER CLIK VALVE 10.0<\/a> and AIRKOMPRESSOR CLIK TEC 10.0<\/a> floor pumps deliver full power to your tires \u2013 fast, precise, and without any loss of air. On the go, the AIRFLEX EXPLORER CLIK TEC<\/a> gives you that extra kick of fresh air so you can keep riding at full pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade for your pump<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SKS CLIK TEC adapter<\/a> is just what you need to take your existing mini or floor pump to the next level. Simply insert the adapter into the Schrader valve connection, adjust the clamping lever and your pump will be ready for CLIK Valves. No complicated retrofits, no stress. Just click and start pumping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New technology in old hoses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry if you have a different valve! With our\u00a0conversion kits<\/a>, you can retrofit the CLIK Valve for existing Presta, Dunlop or Schrader valves: Unscrew the old valve core and fit the new insert or screw on the Schrader adapter \u2013 done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP: You have the Clik Valve but still want to keep your treasured floor pump? Not a problem! All you need to do is change the old pump head on your floor pump and replace it with the SKS CLIK TEC pump head. Alternatively, you can use the CLIK TEC adapter if you do not want to change the pump head. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
