Hi Greg,
Don't think it's a ball valve, probably something more like a pin or
cone closing off a port or seat. Never disassembled one (they are
pressed together as far as I know) to find out. Cheers,

Very cool. Those look interchangeable with the standard one's usually
fitted to Ambos and Eldos. Do those operate with something like a ball
valve? Are they less likely to wear out?

Hi Greg,
You can see them on the MG Cycle website:

Check out #3. Those are for Stornello and such, the V700 ones have a
hose barb instead of the threaded outlet. Otherwise they're the same.
