milKitTubeless UST Valves 1 Pair

I purchased initially the whole Milkit set was impressed initially by the product as the flaps at the end of these valve stems opened in a one way system when the injector was in place. This lead to little mess when using the injector. So I decided to buy 2 more valve sets to go with my other mtb wheelsets.There is a better way to go about tubeless for mtb and gravel than this setup I explain last. Now the downsides to these valve and Milkit.These valve are designed for weight and are best for XC or Road the threads can be defornmed and the puny rubber end to the valve stem didn't seal as well as such as No Name Chinese generic stems or the very well designed WTB stems. These are stouter stems and have a better o ring washer setup for atop the rim and better rubber end to meet the inside of the rim to prevent air loss around the valve hole at the rim, even if the valves hold. Also the "flaps" at the end of these can be deformed in the rubber with regular inector use and the whole one way valve no mess system they claim is out the window as the sealant can now come right back up like a normal stem with core removed.What is with the stem length 35 or 55 mm, 35mm is too short for all but low height aluminum mtb rims and 55mm is ungainly long for carbon mtb rims.However, the injector is single use intended of sorts because your sealant will clog it up after use with Slime STR was the worst, but also thinner Orange Seal has this clogging effect to a lesser extent. So then you get hooked into buying another Milkit system after either the injector "needle" clogs of the stopcock near the syringe after they get irreparably clogged by second use. This get very expensive fast for an already very expensive product. What may help is washing, flushing and purging the sealant from the injector with water immediately after use and not throwing that water down the sink, still time consuming.A much better and cheaper way to go about it. Buy WTB stems 45 mm reasonable price, KOM injector with no stopcock to clog, and a paper towel and good sealant. Purge your KOM injector every time with water rinse. Lasts longer, seals better, and maybe 10 drops of "mess" if you do it right. Oh and far far cheaper both upfront and in the long run.

It shouldn’t cost this much. It works like they say, a good solution. Occasionally the valve sticks and doesn’t let much air in or out. But I have the problem more on the longer valve not this short one.

While riding a particularly technical/rocky section, I broke one of these vales completely in half. Any other valve would have immediately released all the air and left me using my emergency tube or worse - walking out. Not these valves. The internal valve held pressure and I was able to ride out without any issue. I immediately ordered a replacement set. The stealth valve core tool it pretty cool too.

These valves are great. They make the installation of tubeless tires easier and they don't get clogged anymore by the sealant.I bought the whole milKit compact system first and was amazed at how clean and fast tubeless installation and maintenance has gotten. Now I needed more valves for my second bike. I can absolutely recommend it!

Good product. Does what it's supposed to do. Be sure you release pressure when adding sealant.

These valves are useless. The first one I tried to install failed at the rubber base where it is supposed to seat to the rim. I was only setting up one wheel so I tried the second one and despite a lot of different attempts, wasn't able to get the base to seat properly so air leaks out from the valve. Even so, the selling point of these is the ability to remove the valve core and add sealant. That barely works. The sealant was difficult to get through the valve and then a fair bit came back out after removing the sealant injector. It held about half the air through the process.Great concept. Didn't work and a waste of money.

Just like the valves I ordered with the complete kit, these were easy to install and trouble free. Highly recommended.

works exactly as advertized, saves time.

great product only negative is price

I’m going to write this in English. If you ride tubeless, you should ride MilKit Valves! These make checking your sealant levels and topping up a piece of cake. No more mess, no more sealant all over the place, no more flats due to dried up sealant. This is the best! BUT, you need to make sure to watch a YouTube video on how to check sealant levels or you will have an explosion of sealant.This company is serious about making quality products. I have these valves on both of my tubeless wheels and you can see that they are continually improving their products.I did have an issue with my valve, and Milkit sent me out new replacements immediately.I highly highly recommend MilKit and all of their products.

Sinceramente credevo di comprare il kit definitivo per risolvere i miei problemi, invece ho riscontrato diversi problemi in entrambe le bici su cui l'ho montato:Nella prima (CUBE RACE PRO 27) non è stato possibile mettere le valvole perchè appena avvitato l'anello, la parte finale della valvola entrava nel buco, facendo uscire la valvola per intero.Nella seconda bici (SPECIALIZED STUMPJUMPER 2015) ho avuto problemi di fuoriuscita di aria sempre vicino all'anello di serraggio che stringendolo di piu', fa ovalizzare la parte di gomma che va dentro al cerchione causando una perdita di aria ancora più grande.Inoltre la valvola è difettosa: quando premo la parte centrale per far uscire l'aria, la valvola non riesce ad arrivare in fondo e l'aria non esce.

Habe mir die Ventile für das zweite Fahrrad gekauft und klappen Super in Verbindung mit dem MilKit. Kann ich nur empfehlen

NOW I get it. New to tubeless and now that I've also mounted a set of tires using another brand of valves I can see what's so cool about the fact that these hold air even w/o the core. Time will tell if having the whole kit will be worth it, but I'll be going for another set of these if/when needed.
