I’m Clik-curious but thinking things all the way through before jumping into a conversion project. I use an EVT 2-in-1 inflator at home and an old digital gauge from topeak. Has anyone gone about building an inflator setup at home for their Clik valves? What’d you go with? I’m not a huge fan of having to use an adaptor all the time.

The Clik pump head adapter threads straight into the Prestaflator inflator.

Your Park Tool inflator will still inflate Clik, it’s just the gauge won’t be all that useful. Getting yourself a seperate Clik-compatible gauge, instead of the Topeak, is likely all you need.
Alternatively you could get yourself a nice digital inflator (such as from PrestaCycle) and use the threaded Clik adapter.
@Dave_Rome Do you have a recommended shop inflator (with gauge) for use with the screw-in Clik adapter? Unfortunately, I have the EVT Presta-only inflator, which doesn’t work with the screw-in Clik adapter, and the Click slip-fit adapter is absolutely AWFUL. Judging by the look of it, it seems like the PrestaCycle head will work, but wasn’t sure whether that was your top pick (I was also looking at the Park Tool INF-2 or the Arundel Schrader valve shop inflator).
Thanks!

Hey Adam,
I don’t bother with Clik adapters when using a shop inflator. I just use the EVT Presta and know it’s approximately close on pressure. I don’t need it perfect in this application as all my personal pre-ride pressures are set with either a Fumpa or Silca Digital floor pump.
For your usage, I’d recommend an automotive tyre inflator, or one from PrestaCycle’s range, that you can then thread a regular Clik pump adapter into.
Super Pista Digital for the win! Plus, the pump barrel is aero profiled, so it’s faster.
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the response!
I would second the Prestacycle inflator with the Clik adapter screwed in…works a treat!
