Clik Valve
2 points: First, Clik Valve is a cool idea, but it solves a problem I don’t really have nor worry about. More importantly, despite my menacing countenance (a description a guidance counselor provided to my mom in elementary school. She wasn’t thrilled, but knew I wasn’t actually a mean kid), I am quite friendly and helpful. I lend the floor pump in my car out routinely at trailheads and nonstop as a coach. I could not find any information saying that with the Clik pump head you could still inflate classic Presta or Shrader valves without modification. This makes having pump for everyone a nonstarter.
Second, I’ve used valve caps ever since I had a stick perfectly get into my wheel and break my non-sheathed Presta head off. Game over so never again. I use nice alloy ones and they come in cool colors.
