4. Do I need a special pump for the Fillmore valve?
- No, no special pump is needed.
5. Do all tire gauges work for Fillmore valves?
- Although we can't guarantee all tire gauges work with Fillmore valves, we have tried most of the gauges on the market today and have found only a few exceptions where there are function issues.
6. Can you use CushCore with the Fillmore valve?
- Yes, it works, but the poppet pushes against the CushCore when you release pressure, so it takes additional force on the cap to let the air out of the tires.
7. How do I put sealant in?
- You can add sealant directly through the valve simply by removing all pressure in the tire and using either a syringe style injector with tube or cutting the top of the sealant bottle to size.
8. Can I use on my road bike?
- Current 50mm Fillmore valve only fit rims up to 28mm in depth. As a result, Fillmore valves do not fit the majority of the road rims on the market. You can confirm by checking the depth of your rim on the manufacturer's website.
9. Can ride without the cap on the valve?
- Yes, there are no issues with riding the bike with a missing cap. The system is designed to hold tire pressure with or without an air cap.
10. Are they rebuildable?
- No, Fillmore valves are not rebuildable.
11. Where are they available?
- Fillmore valves are available for sale onreservewheels.comand other online channels, as well as your local independent bicycle dealer.
12. Are there pumps and gauges the DON'T work with Fillmore?
- Unfortunately, there are pumps and gauges that do not function well with Fillmore valves. While we attempted to ensure proper function with every pump and gauge during the design process, because of the wide range and styles on the market, there is a small possibility your might experience issues where gauges do not register pressure correctly or pumps that leak air during the filling process.
13. Why are they so much more expensive?
- Reserve Fillmore valves use a combination of 7000 series aluminum combined with a stainless steel internal rod, making the patented valves nearly three times the cost of a standard Presta. But, as a result of the no clog design, we expect Fillmore Valves to last as long as you own your bike. Now that’s value!
