Tyre Valve

If you have a leaking tyre valve you will need to remove the tyre in order to replace it.

and when you do imo its worth fitting 90 degree ones as theres not much room for checking tyre pressures.

As above , I've changed all my bikes to 90 degree valves , think they're maybe about ?20 ish.

Because I'm a tightwad, I ordered and fitted the below 90deg alloy valves for a fiver a pair when I had new rubber fitted recently. They are excellent quality and hold the air in - for a guaranteed seal a very light smear of black silicone on the rubber seal was used when fitting.
