Leaking Alloy Valve

[carob]

Problemo!

Leaking valve on one of my alloys.

Any idea where i could be getting one chaps and do they need to be fitted by a garage.

Thanks

SX.. so you probably need the steel/aluminum valves as opposed to rubber ones.

Something like this place for Rickbrook..

It is the steel ones.

I have tried all the branded tyre places and the back street guys up here but they only use the rubber type.

Just been onto OZ themselves and hoping for a reply from them shortly. I will post any information they give me.

Just managed to get some direct from OZ £12 for a set of four.

So if anyone else ever requires some i will have three spare.

Keep 'em for when you change tyres.. then replace the other 3

If the insert unscrews (like on rubber ones) then you don't even need to change the barrel, just the bit in the middle.

Leaking all over the valve. From where it ties into the rim itself and from the middle and the end.

So i think it would be wise to change the full thing.

May need new tyres after the new year so i will do as you suggested rev and change the lot.

The leak aint P****ing out, more like a slow puncture but it aint going to get any better so it will be wise to change it out.
