FAQ

Does the SILCA Aluminum Disc Chuck work on short disc wheel valve stems?

Yes, the SILCA Aluminum Disc Chuck is designed for disc wheels and the short, recessed valve stems where most chucks fail. Its compression head and 252 gasket tighten the fit by nearly 200% with a twist of the cap to hold a reliable seal.

What pump does the SILCA Aluminum Disc Chuck fit?

The SILCA Aluminum Disc Chuck threads into any Schrader pump head, so it works with most floor pumps as well as SILCA pumps set up with a Schrader head or hose. It is a Presta-valve adapter, so the wheel must use Presta valves.

What makes the SILCA 252 gasket better than standard rubber?

The SILCA 252 gasket uses a full synthetic elastomer borrowed from industrial sealing applications that demand air-tight performance under extreme pressure. It tests to more than 5 times the life expectancy of the carbon-filled rubber or Buna-N gaskets used in conventional disc chucks.

Best For

Track cyclists, triathletes, and time trial riders who run disc wheels and need a chuck that seals reliably on short valve stems at high pressure without babying the connection.
