    Oh man, this is going to feel like another round of STW bashing.

    You have simply reprinted a press release. Lazy journalism won’t help your aim to increase subscriber numbers!

    1) What’s your view on these? Good/Bad/Indifferent? Are you planing a review? Have you seen them? Are you adding any more value than a copy/paste of a press release?

    2) How much are they? They look like a brilliant (and potentially lower priced?) version of the Santa Cruz Reserve version, but how do I know that?

    3) I can’t even buy them anywhere! They aren’t on the Funn website linked and after a bit of digging it turns out that CRC distribute them, but I can’t buy them on CRC either.

    C’mon chaps. You are really going to need to raise your game if you want to achieve your goals!!!!

    And where’s the press release about the new Hope Pro 5 that Hope themselves have just released (on YouTube BTW, just saying – feels like the future!). Oh, let me tell you where it is – a fellow STW member has just posted it on the forum (having seen it somewhere else) and beaten you to it.

    The writing is on the wall and the lessons are there for all to see. Your challenge is whether you can see them and do something about it.

    What’s your view on these?

    Would agree with that.  One if the things I loved about the mag when I first joined was the reviews as they would often say things were pants when they were pants. It was different from everything else I saw

    And apparently they are 35usd/pair. Don’t know what that is in real numbers but yes, that info should have been there

    The thing that is really useful on the various valves like this on the market is a nice fat retaining bolt that you can undo, in the rain, with frozen fingers, when you just need to put a tube in and get home.

    Journalism issue to one side.

    Surely the real solution to all these not-enough-air-flow woes is… a SHRADER valve instead.  They’re big enough for a truck tyre to seat. So a push bike tyre will be simples.

    Compare and contrast the journalistic standard of the exact same article on bikerumor and tell me why I should pay for STW when I can get this level of quality for free from them.

    I know it sounds like another moan, but if you can’t see the competitive landscape, somebody has to point it out.

    Although I think the lack of room in the centre of tubless rims might be a bit of an issue.

    Surely with the trend of wider and wider rims, they can now accommodate Shrader?
    BMX has been running Shrader for years. Never seen a tubeless version of Shrader valves though.
    Plus everything else tubeless and MTB related seems to be geared around Presta, so lots of tools to replace to accommodate for the change.

    I think Stan’s have done them for ages

    Surely with the trend of wider and wider rims, they can now accommodate Shrader?

    I suspect the shoulders of the rim bed have also got wide to assist tubeless set up leaving much the same in the middle

    Joe’s do tubeless schrader valves as well, they’re less than a tenner a pair.

    Not everything has to be a reason to pay for STW, this is a low-effort new product piece not a high quality value-adding article, don’t judge it by that standard. Room for both and this one doesn’t impact the other.

    Looks an interesting product to me, I buy the absolute cheapest alu tubeless valves and they work well but sometimes that extra little bit of simplicity would be nice. Servicability is good too, presta + tubeless = gunked up ime. Yep maybe schrader would be better but that ship sailed a long time ago.
