Are they much better than presta valves at resisting clogging from sealant?

    I still use tubes and put the sealant in them. I find the valves get clogged after about a year or two of use and have to replace the cores.

      Ahh I see. This is just an unsubstantiated opinion, but I’d bet this would still happen with those clik cores. Sealant has an unfortunate habit of gunking up whatever is in its path, and I bet that little valve at the bottom could still get pretty crapped up. It’s a piss off when this happens with a $3 core, now imagine a $15-20 core, right?
