I have a feeling that the answer to this posting lies in my own ineptitude, but out of interest has anyone else ever had any issue with the screw-in valves on these wheels?

I have broken two of the little blighters now (with the thread inside the wheel) and am getting to the point where I'm considering looking for a set of wheels that have the good old fashioned rubber thingy (sorry to get all technical). Putting air into tyres was one of the few things I was able to do myself on cars, and I seem to have lost that ability.

Not broken one but my tyre inflator doesnt fit the slippy metal thingy very well and keeps "popping off"!

Getting my own tyre inflator might be the best solution - although I will bear the above in mind.
