Reviews over the

Schwalbe SCV Conversion Kit

Take out the old valve, fit the new click valve and tighten it. That’s all there is to it. Click the adapter onto your pump and pump it up. No more stuck or bent Presta valves…

Pros & Cons

After reading many positive reviews, I’ve made the switch to Schwalbe Clik Valve valves. To put it simply: I wouldn’t want anything else now. Converting from Presta to CV is straightforward, although the plastic ‘tool’ supplied isn’t quite ideal for tightening the new valve core properly. An aluminium tool would have been better. The included pump head adapter fits my Lezyne floor pump perfectly. A major advantage is that you can always measure the tyre pressure straight away. Clicking it on and off takes just a second – super simple! No more hassle with valve cores coming loose (something I experienced several times with my previous Presta valves; this was due to using a Lezyne screw-on pump head, where the valve core turns with the pump head when unscrewing, resulting in a flat tyre). No more faffing about with the little spindle that needs to be screwed in or out before or after pumping. I ride on standard inner tubes on my bike.

Pros & Cons

Easy to inflate and no hassle with air leaks or valves coming loose

Pros & Cons

It’s easy to make the change. Makes it easy to pump up tyres whenever you’re out and about.

That’s what I expected

Pros & Cons

The old valve cores are easy to swap out for these Clik Valve valves. With an adapter, you can easily use your existing pumps. Only my tyre pressure gauge doesn’t work with an adapter.

Pros & Cons

It's easy to change your valves, a few minutes' work at most. I find it much nicer to work with, tyres pump up quickly, don't lose air and the Click system works really efficiently. There are already countless pumps and parts available that work with the Clickvalve. Great product.

Pros & Cons

Easily assembled and easily inflated with adapter on electric pump.

Pros & Cons

I have only been using these valves for a short while but anyone who has to inflate tyres regularly has experienced it with a presta valve: either the pump head flies off when inflating or you lose a lot of air when disconnecting. So that is not the case with these valves. Replacing the valve is something you do have to go through but after that it really is much easier.

Pros & Cons

My bikes all have the Schwalbe click valve. Really very easy.

Pros & Cons

Easy to screw into existing valve

Pros & Cons

Valves are fine, small pump head a bit less convenient. Works well on electric pump, though. Better convert your high-pressure pump and (unfortunately) buy new SCV mini pump

Pros & Cons

Once they are in place, pumping up your tyre is a piece of cake. But screwing them into the valve was a bit of a hassle because the tool quickly stopped working so you had to use pliers, which unfortunately quickly damaged the outside of the valve. Otherwise, it works excellently

Pros & Cons

I was initially quite critical of the Schwalbe Clik valve. It seemed like another marketing solution to a problem that isn't really there. But after using it, I must honestly say: I am really super satisfied. Clipping it in works surprisingly smoothly and much easier than a traditional Presta head. No more hassle with pumps coming loose or bent valves. The system feels reliable and I haven't experienced any air loss or problems so far. As far as I am concerned, this is not a gimmick but simply a practical improvement.

Pros & Cons

Recently equipped all bikes with these schwalbe valves. Inflating and inflating bike tyres is now much faster. Getting the bikes ready for a ride now takes seconds instead of minutes.

Pros & Cons

Think this will be the future though. Just doesn't fit all valves with presta. I had tpu tyres with plastic valves. So you twist these to pieces during installation. Fortunately, in April there will be a tyre with this click system made with TPU

Pros & Cons

After I banged the back of my hand against the cassette for the umpteenth time when pulling off the pump head or the head of the presta valve broke off, I tried the Clik Valve. What a relief how easily I now click the pump head on and off and how easily they let air through. I have replaced the valves on all the bikes at home with this.
