Pardon my French but GOD DAMMIT BEN IT'S CENTER LOCK!!! Not "centre lock", or "centre-lock". It's a trademark, and a way Shimano chose to designate a certain technology. Yet every single time Singletrack mentions it, it gets "UKized" without hesitation.

... subverting the dominant paradigm. That's why Singletrack has so many subscribers.
But personally, you had me at "strap-ons." Clickbait right there.

That Topeak gauge is good, I have a couple of those.
The WTB valves are literally just the same as the ones I get from aliexpress for £1.50 a pair though.

Muc Off are still punting their original tubeless valve out a £5.99 per pair. Here's a linky. Sure I read that embedded links get a little commission for STW if followed, so I hope this is OK.
