Need to know about classic valve....

[LazyDre]

Im about to buy a used mini-mag and it has a classic valve on it....

1. Have there been any major problems with them?
2. It does have reactive trigger...it has a intelliframe on it
3. is anyone selling retro valves or xvalves for around 200

1) assuming that they haven't replaced the back half with an aftermarket reg, then you should have no problems with it
2) Classic valves don't have the reactive trigger. the reactive properties come mainly from a wider on/off pin in the retro valves (among other things). The Intelliframe is great. especially when you do get a retro valve
3) Yes. I've seen complete xvalves (level 10 and all) go for 225 used. retro vavles can also be purchased used for around 180-200. Check the classified section and you'll find some ususally.
