Details

Specifically designed to work with tubeless systems.

76 Projects' HI FLOW valves have 4x the air throughput and a redesigned core that helps prevent sealant build-up.

Tubeless bike tyres and rims were introduced 20 years ago yet tubeless systems still use the Presta valve standard from the 1890's. The clearances in a Presta valve are smaller than the holes that the sealant is supposed to be able to block so it's no surprise that the valves get clogged.

  • 'No Clog' internals - Greatly increased clearances prevent sealant build up*.
  • 4x greater air flow (compared to Presta) - Fill the tyre faster to help seat and seal the bead.
  • Works with lever lock Presta pump heads. An adapter may be required for other pump head types, see below for more details on compatibility.
  • Sealant can be directly injected through the valve centre. See pump compatibility section below for more details.
  • Just 9 grams a pair.
  • High precision CNC machined aluminium.
  • Spare parts available here.
  • Sizes 0 & 1 Compatible with rim protection inserts.
  • Compatible with push-on CO2 inflators, adapter required for screw-on inflators.

      Use the message facility -> if you have question that isn't answered here.

      Can I inject sealant directly in to the valve? The valve 'core' is hollow so sealant can be injected directly via a 5mm internal diameter tube. Simply undo the brass nut, and make sure the valve 'core' is pushed down.
      However, we always recommend unseating a section of tyre and putting sealant directly in. That way the sealant level can be observed. Because of the hi-flow nature this method is much easier than with presta valves.
      *Some sealants with very large particles such as Silca Ultimate may still clog in some circumstances. For these sealants we recommend added directly to the tyre rather than through the valve

      Are valves compatible with tyre inserts? Yes, size 0 and 1 valves have base nuts with side ports that are compatible with tyre inserts.

      Are the valves compatible with Tyrewiz? No, tyrewiz requires and presta style valve.

      Some sealants with very large particles such as Silca Ultimate may still clog in some circumstances. For these sealants we recommend added directly to the tyre rather than through the valve and also not to remove air via the valve when the valve is at the 6 o'clock position.

      Due to the hi-flow, if the tyre are deflated with the valves at 6 o'clock the sealant may be siphoned out of the tyre. For that reason the valve should be at another position.

      Valve Rebuild

      ‘Hi Flow’ Tubeless Valves – the end of Presta?

      I fitted a pair and BAM! Well actually more a poof! I was able to seat a pair of Schwalbe X-One tyres to some Mavic Open Pro UST rims using just a track pump. It was easy, just a few strokes and up they went. So, so far the ‘Hi Flow’ valves have impressed. They stayed sealed, no leaking around the valve, I’m happy. Cytech Review

      Bike Rumour


      If you're constantly unclocking clogged Presta valves or running a tubeless setup, the 76 Projects HI FLOW 'No Clog' Tubeless Valves are an absolute must-have. Although it takes a little more to install them, they perform exactly as promised, making tyre inflation much quicker and easier at a price that's incredibly competitive to traditional tubeless valves. These valves may just spell the death of Presta.

      HI FLOW VALVE OVERVIEW

      Despite fitting in the same size valve hole and using the same pumps as presta Hi Flow valves have a unique precision CNC'd construction which enables 4x the airflow.

      HI FLOW 'NO CLOG'

      Hi Flow Valves valves feature a unique hollow precision CNC'd stainless steel valve core. In combination with the wider 'transfer chamber' section it means that 4x the air flow is achieved versus a presta valve.

      The greatly increased clearances also mean that clogging is far less likely. Whereas the clearances in a Presta valve are smaller than the holes that sealant is supposed to be able to block so it's no surprise that they get clogged.

      VALVE SIZES

      Size 0 - 09-20mm rim height* Compatible with rim inserts - MTB

      Size 1 - 15-35mm rim height* Compatible with rim inserts - MTB / GRAVEL / ROAD

      Size 2 - 30-50mm rim height* - GRAVEL / AERO ROAD

      Size 3 - 45-65mm rim height* - DEEP SECTION AERO

      Size 4 - 60-85mm rim height* - DEEP SECTION AERO

      *unlike normal valves our HI Flow valves are specified by the rim height rather than the valve length.

      ADDING SEALANT

      Sealant may be added directly through the hollow valve core via a tube with an internal diameter of 5mm. However, we always recommend unseating a section of tyre and putting sealant directly in. That way the sealant level can be observed. Because of the hi-flow nature the direct method is much easier than with presta valves.
      See video for tips on adding sealant.

      *Some sealants with very large particles such as Silca Ultimate may still clog in some circumstances. For these sealants we recommend added directly to the tyre rather than through the valve.

      PUMP COMPATIBILITY

      Our Hi Flow valves are not Presta but are designed to be work with Presta style lever lock style pump heads .
      The hi flow design means that some screw-on and push on pump heads do not fit well or at all.  We offer 2 adapter options for those pump head types:

      Adapters are available to fit Presta or Schrader style pump heads. Schrader version supplied if you select the adapter option on this page. The Schrader option is much smaller than Presta so we recommend that if your pump has Schrader head option. Separate adapters can be found on this page.

      *No adapter required for One Up EDC pump.
      **Topeak Smart Heads or others that use one opening for both Presta and Schrader will require an adapter.

      The solution I've been searching for

      Excellent design, quick to install, can leave wheel valves resting in any direction and flawless use with normal and electric pump without any sealant spraying through. My charge pump works perfectly with these (just need to push the head on a bit more) so am happy to give the negative reviewer below a demo.

      Silca and normal presta valves and not friends - this resolves everything. I do worry a little about the fragility of the dust cap but time will tell

      Look good. Fitted easily and inflated the tyres v v easily. Will they get blocked? I can only tell you that in 6 months time, but they look to be less prone to clogging as the gaps are far larger than in a standard valve. Service was v quick and easy too.

      Well.. 2nd time...

      These valves for my BI forty five, I bought because I had good experience with the valves on my MTB. - Nice valves and a fast delivery.. This time the valves feel no different from the standard valves i used before.. - maybe clogged? AND not to mention that the €17 in postage that would usually be for an over night delivery, is ABSOLUTELY INSANE when delivery is almost 2 WEEKS! - 76Projects can do MUCH better!

      Hi Jeppe, it's unlikely they are clogged. We will email you with a list of checks.
      Regarding the delivery, you ordered via our UK site, €15 is not unreasonable for international shipping. We have a EU site which is what you used previously and that would be faster and more cost effective. Customers should get a pop notification about our Eu oand US sites but this may be blocked be pop up blockers.

      Hi Flow Valves

      Easy to install and make tubeless set up a breeze, even the most stubborn tyres seat on the bead with minimum effort
