Tyre valve size
« on: August 28, 2011, 04:43:19 PM »
I'm looking at replacement tyre valves, and there seems to be more than one size available wrt. the hole the valve sits in. The standard appears to be a 11.5 mm hole, hopefully this is what will fit my K too?

The hole in the rim is 8mm.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

I just took my old one to an auto parts store. Found a package that someone had stolen one of the 4, and the manager gave me 1/2 off. Everyone wins.
