BBB CoreCap Presta Valve (BTI-165)

CoreCap is designed for threaded Presta valves with a removable core, both in inner tubes and tubeless systems. In practice, the set is installed in place of the standard Presta core, providing an inflation point compatible with a standard Schrader head, as found on many floor pumps and at petrol stations. The manufacturer highlights that no adapters are required and that the product is fully compatible with threaded Presta valves with a removable core.

The CoreCap design aims to increase airflow and reduce common usage problems associated with Presta valves. This solution increases airflow by up to300 percentcompared with conventional solutions, resulting in faster inflation and easier pressure adjustment, especially when tyre pressure is changed frequently in road and gravel tyres. In tubeless systems, the greater airflow is intended to reduce sensitivity to partial blockage of the channel by sealant, making it easier to top up the wheel in off-road conditions and during servicing.

CoreCap is also designed to simplify the initial seating of a tubeless tyre. In many cases, the tyre bead can be seated without using a compressor, thanks to the greater airflow during the initial inflation phase. In urban applications and on electric bicycles, the key benefit is the ability to inflate anywhere, including with a pump fitted with a Schrader head, without risking damage to the delicate Presta core when connecting and disconnecting the pump head.
