Yeah Kris, The presta is all I use and I've had them gunk up only a few times. The first time it happened I twisted out the whole valve, yuck, learned a lesson that day that I've not repeated. Other that that I'm just real careful to make sure I clean up well whenever air come out through the valve. I kind of thought doo doo too.
