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.

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?

    I find it curious that something as inherently flawed as the Presta valve wouldn't have been replaced years ago. The Click Valve seems to address all of the flaws in the Presta without Flunky's belief that you have to have a pump adapter to make it work. A normal Presta valve pump works fine though the Click Valve pump works easier. The Click Valve does seal by being screwed down which is insufficient for a slightly bent valve, but is spring loaded like a Schrader valve and simply screws right over the top of the Presta stem.
 I believe that this will be adopted by all tube makers for road bikes and likely for MTB's.

Care to place a wager for some specific time interval on that?
