I now superglue the valves in before using them. I can see that this design is kinder to the valves and potentially more serviceable but incredibly infuriating at the time, especially if in the field. I got a valve cap with integrated valve spanner on to ensure I always have a way to try and nip them up along with superglue now in my puncture repair kit (also useful for tyre cuts).

Yeah, I have the same issue with my otherwise very nice Travel Floor Drive. It drives me up the wall. Pre-tightening the valve and the pressure release button both don't help.
