specific multi tool re valve stem nut
Discussion
Having just had a mardy half hour trudge back home following a puncture and not being able to undo the nut on the presta valve stem, can anyone recommend a cycling multi tool with pliers or some attachment to undo them. I don't know why it wouldn't come undone as I would have only done it up finger tight the last time it was off: are there any hints and tips for them or should I just accept I've got the finger strength of a five year old girl?
Just sorted the puncture, undid the offending nut with pliers. The nut on the front wheel that wasn't punctured came undone as easy as anything
Was thinking though, what does the nut actually do? There is plenty of valve stem sticking out so it didn't disappear into the wheel rim when I inflated it, there being plenty to grab hold of when I put the pump on it. Can you manage without them and avoid this mornings type of farce?
ETA must have been reading my mind Dammit, thanks for the replies
