Is this another solution to a problem that is a lot smaller than the blurb makes out? Schrader valves are a standard for millions of vehicles worldwide, and I've not really had a problem with them, even on bicycles. Small wheels and high spoke count issues seem to be more of a problem related to the size of the pump head which this new system doesn't really address. Probably sports riders will cling to their Presta valves for a long time yet, even if the dinosaurs at the UCI even eventually accept this new standard.
As for Dunlop/Woods valves, when did you last see one of those, unless you are an enthusiast for vintage cycles? That is actually a perfectly good valve too, even though it has gone out of fashion.
I think we will just end up with yet another standard to add to the collection. How will the click mechanism cope with long term wear, road dirt, etc? Only time will tell. Perhaps what will ultimately decide what wins out is how effective the marketing is, leading to people fitting what's easily available in the shops, or what is fitted as standard to new bikes. If the motor industry adopts it, it'll flow down elsewhere. With fewer dedicated bike shops about and supermarkets selling a dumbed down selection of bike accessories, perhaps what ends up on their shelves will also have a big influence.
