Fresh Goods Sunday - Peatys Chris King MK2 Tubeless Valves - Matte Slate -42mm, 60mm & 80mm

 

I was not really on the look out for more tubeless valves but when I found these Peatys ltd edition Chris King ones on Team Cycles website I could not refuse really. Why you ask well they were marked up at £2 a pair! So I ordered a pair in each length they had in stock. I have fitted the 60mm pair onto my new Hunt carbon wheelset on my Creo 2 gravel. The quality looks and feels very good. The rubber sealed against the rim with no problems / leakages. The washer has two flat sides so you can use a wrench if it seizes to the stem. The caps are different to each other one is a poke key and the other is a core remover. Yes they have nice features and look good on the bike bbut the rrp is just plain crazy in my eyes. There is no way on this planet could I ever justify £30-£33 for a pair of alu coloured tubeless valves. 

RRP - 42mm £29.99. 60mm £29.99. 80mm £32.99. I paid £2 a pair from Team Cycles

With design, sustainability & quality running right to the core, there’s only one company we could work with on our valve colours - chris king! with our valves for life guarantee and their stunning colourways your bike is in for a real treat for years to come!

Still made Made from lightweight anodised 7075 aluminium as standard, our new MK2 tubeless valves are now compatible with all rim inserts and come with a spoke key cap as well as a valve core removal cap.

That's right. The best just got even better!

The addition of a unique four-way x-cut base to enables our valves to now work with all tyre inserts.

The channels cut into the base of the valve allow air and sealant to pass through when inserts are pushed up against them.

Unlike most other insert-compatible valves, our valves have a ‘straight-through’ design so there’s no reduction of sealant or air flow when tyre inserts are not used.

All of this with no added weight!

If you manage to break, snap, bend or crack our valves* then we'll fix or replace them free of charge!

Our MK2 valves now come with a world-first spoke key presta valve cap!

The spoke key is sized for standard 3.4mm spoke nipples and is the perfect tool for tightening loose spokes in trailside emergencies.

To use, simply unscrew the cap, slot your spoke through the gap in the top of the cap and slide down the spoke until the cap fits over your spoke nipple.

Whether you're in the workshop or out on the trail, our valve core remover caps help to quickly remove the valve core to deflate the tyre or top up with sealant.

To de-core the valve, all you need to do is:

1. Unscrew the valve cap
2. Slot the valve cap over the valve core
3. Twist anticlockwise until the core can be pulled out
4. Repeat in reverse to refit

5. Our MK2 valves come in 42mm, 60mm and 80mm lengths. This means that whatever the depth of your rim, we have valves to fit your needs.

   As a rough guide, We recommend:

   • MTB, Urban and XC rims: 42mm
   • Road rims: 60mm
   • Deep Section Road rims: 80mm

   Always measure your rims before purchasing or contact your Rim manufacturer for further recommendations.
