Schwalbe adapter SV Max Flow

Schwalbe adapter SV Max Flow

The Schwalbe SV Max Flow is a novelty that tries to solve one of the biggest "problems" of modern tubeless systems: valves clogged by sealant and slow airflow.

Main advantages and features

Extreme airflow: It has a much wider internal diameter than a standard Presta valve. Schwalbe states that the airflow is up to 300 % higher. This means you can seat a tubeless tyre even with an ordinary workshop pump, without the need for a compressor or a pressure tank.

No more clogging: Traditional valves have a narrow needle inside on which sealant dries. The Max Flow has no inner core in the classic sense, and its design prevents the sealant from reaching the closing mechanism to the extent that it would cause a blockage.

Open/closed indicator: On the cap or on the mechanism itself you can clearly see (and feel) whether the valve is open or closed.

Compatibility: Although the inside is different, from the outside it is still compatible with pump heads for Presta valves. It also fits standard rim holes (6.5 mm).
