Schwalbe has introduced, a new valve which seems to have some advantages,

Can’t say I notice the wear at least with the pumps, have had one inner
tube, fail recently with a valve failure ie no holes but slowly deflated.

Now we'll need pumps with triple heads.....(yeah yeah I know, they have
adapters and claim SV will fit)

On the other hand, I don't really like the fumbling with sclaverand
valves. Just replacing the valve insert with something better isn't that
bad an idea.  _If_ it is actually better.  Question is: can Schwalbe
generate a profit from that idea, without killing it by trying to sell
expensive licenses?
