After decades of valve technology remaining largely unchanged for cyclists, some innovators are beginning to turn their backs on Presta valves. BBB Cycling has now entered the space with its new CoreCap, promising faster inflation, improved durability and near-universal pump compatibility, with up to 300% more airflow than traditional valves. It can be fitted to your existing valves or purchased as a complete tubeless valve set.<\/p>\n

With tubeless sealant and higher volume tyres now even for road applications, brands are starting to rethink the traditional\u00a0Presta\u00a0valve.<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, Reserve introduced its Fillmore valves<\/a>, featuring a coreless design claimed to triple airflow. More recently, Schwalbe has entered the space with its\u00a0Clik<\/a> Valve<\/a>, aiming to make tyre inflation easier and more efficient through simpler attachment and operation.<\/p>\n

BBB Cycling says that while Presta valves are effective, they are “prone to bending, clogging, and breakage due to frequent use – especially with tubeless setups”, so the brand set out to remove these “weak points” while retaining universal compatibility.<\/p>\n

BBB’s\u00a0answer to the evolving valve landscape is the CoreCap, a system it describes as a “new standard in valve technology”, compatible with both tubeless and tubed setups. It’s designed to eliminate the need to unscrew the valve core or rely on adapters, claiming\u00a0to reduce the risk of sealant clogging the system.<\/p>\n

According to BBB, the CoreCap\u2019s internal construction maximises airflow, while its design is intended to “withstand repeated use and harsh conditions without degradation”. Tubeless fans should\u00a0also be pleased, because the air flow rate is said to be 300% higher than standard valves.<\/p>\n

A key part of that appeal is pump compatibility. The CoreCap is designed to work with standard Schrader pump heads found on most modern floor pumps, and at petrol stations, meaning tyres can be inflated almost anywhere without adapters or special fittings. Pumps designed for Presta or Dunlop valves are also supported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CoreCap addresses everything that made traditional Presta valves frustrating,\u201d says Roderik Jager, Product Manager at BBB Cycling. \u201cNo more adapters, no bending, no breakage – and you can even inflate your tyres at a gas station. It\u2019s a true performance and convenience upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pricing and availability<\/p>\n

The CoreCap\u00a0comes in two configurations: the CoreCap AL Valve, a complete tubeless valve system, and the CoreCap Valve Caps Upgrade Set, which replaces the Presta valve core on most threaded valves.<\/p>\n

The complete CoreCap AL valve set is offered in two colours and three lengths: 40, 60 and 80mm, priced at \u00a324.99, \u00a327.99 and \u00a331.99 respectively, while the CoreCap Valve Caps Upgrade Set comes in six colours and costs \u00a314.99.<\/p>\n
