Ok so I have a front valve stem leak at the base.leaking fairly quick as I found out today on a ride where I made it approx a mile from home then realised either I'm still hung over,even though ive only drunk 4 pints 12hrs ago,or my steering damper seized . Or shit best limp it home home which was quite weird as I can hear air leaking from the valve.fucked valve it is then.question is my rear tyre is pretty much cooked at the moment I'm running on dunlop sportsmarts witch are good but take a bit of warming up.so do I pay the money to get valve renewed.cant do this my self unless I buy the axel removal tool,paddock stands and stuff or do I limp it to my local tyre fitter and go for a new set of pirelli tyres.what would you do ? Which tyres seeing as my Dunlop rear is pretty much worn?
