Review on JACO Lightning Presta Schrader Valves by Josh Flanagan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Universal Air Canister - Hope it lasts

I deal with Presta and Schrader valves so this air canister seems like the perfect buy. Problems dozens of times when I used it. The only thing that worries me is the feeling of a loose yoke and a general feeling of poor cartridge tolerance. It has quite a bit of "play" in its feel, and I'm worried it might fall apart (as another reviewer showed his photos disassembled). one had to make a scrupulous effort to push the collar in, tuck it in to keep it from slipping back. Otherwise you'll try to put it on the bar without noticing that it doesn't capture all the time while the air is slowly flowing. For the price, it should either be higher than the build quality, or instead of selling in quantities of 2, improve the build quality and lower the price by 25-30%. Reliability is questionable.

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Intervals
