How easy are they to change?

Can I do it with a basic tool kit?


How do I do it?

Anyone know anywhere that is open on sunday's in stockport for a valve?

Cheers.

Andy

I forgot to mention there is no centre stand, I have no paddock stand and I have no garage or anything that I can hang it from the roof.

This needs taking to a garage really I think.

Just to save the ball ache.

Haven't got a clue with regard to the valve but when I used to take my bike to a guy in cumbria for a rear tyre change, he used to use a car jack on the point where a centre stand would normally be to lift the back. It always stood steady enough on the sidestand and the jack. Thumbs Up

Ah right, cheers for that, bit far for me to try and find at this time though.

Ah well I have vulcanised it now. Just hope the ferengi dont get offended.

Gonna push it to the petty station near me and pump her up.

If its a tubless tyre the valve is removed/replaced from the inside. So the tyre needs to be partly removed.

Unless its just the centre bit of the valve that you can unscrew. Plenty of them around at any car/bike tyre shop.

I have now found that them nice sliver caps that are on my valves are stuck on thanks to all the salt crap on the roads....
