90 degree Valve Stem, Silver

90 degree Valve Stem, Silver

A common problem: You need to top up the low tire pressure at a gas station, but the air filler nozzle is made for cars. The result is that more air escapes than manages to go in while you try to make the poorly fitting nozzle fit on to the short motorcycle-type tire valve...This quality machined & light aluminum tire valve for tubeless tires (weights only 11 grams) puts an end to the annoying fiddling because it's permanently attached to the wheel rim! Unlike some other similar products that use an o-ring to seal, these stems have a stepped seal that seals solidly and centers the valve stem in the bore. This is a far superior method than an o-ring seal.

Note: To fit this valve the tire needs to be removed, make sure to order a couple of these before your next tire change & wheel balancing! This valve is intended for use mainly on spoke wheels. However, it can be used on cast wheels if the valve seal does not sit directly on a mold joint. NOT suitable for bikes with automatic air pressure control system
