Legion's Clever High-Flow Tubeless Valves - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
These valves are a cool idea at a fair price: $20 on Amazon. The air flow is great.
There are 2 main issues: 1) the threading is insufficient to fit both rims I own, including a DT XM481, which is a very common rim. Solution: adding extra spacers. 2) The valves aren't compatible with typical pumps. I own 2 floor pumps, both with typical dual-hole heads with flip lever for presta or schrader. One pump worked, the other didn't. I use Lezyne minis on my bikes, these do not work with these valves. I ordered a very standard Crank Brothers Gem mini pump to try. This pump also did not work with these valves.
Legion makes a pump adapter, however, that's not available on Amazon or anywhere else in the States.
$20 down the drain (well, actually into the bottom of my box full of greasy discarded bike parts).
