Iron Posted August 24, 2011 Share Questions, Slime= thick, gungy...my valve = thin...hmm, see problem. how do i remove the valve core, it's of the smaller/thinner variety. not the same core's as per car tires that you just screw out with supplied tool. G You have what is called a presta valve , make sure you have a tube with a removable core ( the "presta" part comes out ) if not you need to buy a tube like that . ie conti tubes have removable presta valves.

G If its tubeless it will have tubeless valves and as far as i have seen they all have removable cores ( the section where your valve cap screws on should have two flat sides so you can fit a small spanner [think its 5 or 6 mm] on it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer4Recovery Posted August 24, 2011 Share Also bought some slime from sportsmans warehouse, only to find out that I can't get it into my tubeless tire? My presta valve does not have a removable core? Currently I have Stan's sealant in my tubeless, I believe...but doubt it will work forever.

If they tubeless simply let the air out pop a small section of the tire off . pour some slime in put the tire back and pump it up.actually no need to remove the valve.
