Titanium Tubeless Valve Stems
One Gram Heavier. Four times As Strong. Why titanium for tubeless valve stems? While we love the sort of upgrades that shave weight and add a bit of character to our builds, sometimes those upgrades come with downsides. In the case of lightweight aluminum tubeless valve stems, that weight saving and bling comes with a real reduction in strength- as anyone who has snapped a valve stem while frantically pumping mid-race (or hanging their bike from a hook in the garage) will attest. So we propose a compromise: give us back a gram and we'll give you a tubeless valve stem nearly four times as strong as the alternative. But why stop there? Seeing as Ti is more expensive to source and slower to machine than aluminum, we wanted to keep our our tubeless valve stems in service as long as possible. So we made the parts that wear or which can be fouled by sealant easily replaceable- and their replacements readily available. So while the cost more to begin with, as soon as you've replaced your
