The Dunlop valve , also known as a Blitz valve , is a true classic and particularly widespread in Europe. It is frequently used on traditional bicycles, city bikes, and older models.
The Dunlop valve is named after the British inventor John Boyd Dunlop. He is best known for developing the pneumatic tire – an innovation that revolutionized cycling comfort. Although the valve itself has undergone technical improvements, it has remained closely associated with his name.
Structure and Function
The Dunlop valve works with a simple rubber tube or insert inside that holds the air pressure. To inflate, the valve cap is unscrewed – there is no valve pin like on a Schrader valve.
Advantages of the Dunlop valve
Very simple design: Easy to maintain and inexpensive
Fast inflation: Less resistance when pumping
Widely used: Especially in Germany, standard on many bicycles
Lower pressure stability: Air can escape more quickly.
Less precise pressure measurement: Exact PSI/bar values are harder to determine.
Not suitable for high pressures
City bikes
Dutch bikes
