Title: Friday night stupid question
Post by: Bulldog67 on September 21, 2012, 07:53:59 PM
As ya know the Molotov had its valve ripped out - so logic seems I need some shorter valves - any good:

or is there some mystery to this I dont understand?

then they may not work, the grove that the wheel locates in will be bigger on valves for an alloy and may not seal on a steel rim

We used to do our own tyres at work and just used to used the one type of valve we had. Didn't matter if the wheels were steel or alloy the diameter of the hole is the same. Never had an issue with leaks.
