Hello everyone,
1979 special II...
I'm finally getting close calling this girl road worthy... But unfortunately she needs some new shoes. So.. got online, and ordered some new treads.. they came in just a couple days, good price, so that's nice.
Anyway, after wrestling the old tire off (at least 15 year old rubber is NOT very flexible!), I noticed it has tubes inside. Interesting, but these are mag rims, and I intend to run this tubeless, so I run on down to the auto-parts store, pick up some valve stems. They had two sizes, so I got the smaller (0.453") size.
I get home, and quickly figure out that the valve stems that I bought are again too large.. But those are the smallest at the store. Hrm...
I googled, and I searched here, but couldn't find out..
What size Valve stem should I get? Where would I get such a stem from?
Thanks
Xumi
