These tubeless valves look seriously trick and cost just $12. I've just bought a set in this Amazon Prime Day cycling deal
The alloy valves come in 12 colors, four lengths and have core tools included, so why pay more?
Trust me, if you haven't already set your tires up tubeless, it's arguably the best and most cost effective mountain or gravel bike upgrade you can make. Not only will you be making most punctures a thing of the past (you can still get flats from tire cuts with tubeless setups), but you'll be saving weight, and you can run lower tire pressures which will give your tires more grip.
For a full tubeless setup, you'll need valves, tape and sealant. Valves are usually the most expensive piece of the puzzle with a set costing around $30 to $40. However, these BWSHLF branded ones (no, I've never heard of them before either) are reduced to around $12 (per 40mm pair) in this Amazon Prime Day deal – which is as low as tubeless valve prices get. Almost all the colors are reduced in price except for the black and oil-slick finished valves. Prices also vary depending on the combination of color and length you go for.

With alloy bodies and caps, in-built valve tools, plus 12 different colors and four lengths, these valves look just as good as the leading brands but cost only half as much in this Amazon Prime Day deal. The exact price of the valves depends on the color and valve length chosen, but almost all are reduced to around $12 in the 40mm length, except for the black and oil-slick finishes which are still full price.
While most tubeless models at this price are pretty basic, the BWSHLF ones come in a range of 12 colors, four different lengths, and are made from aluminum alloy with top caps that have in-built valve core removal tools. I've only just bought a set so haven't tested them yet, but they look just as good and have all the features of the best tubeless tire valves for less than half the price of brands such as Peaty's, Muc-Off, or Hope.
While the valves are available elsewhere in the world, at the time of writing, the only place I've seen price reductions is in the US. At Amazon UK, the BWSHLF valves cost around £20 – depending on the size and color chosen.
