The longer aluminium tools are simply the BEST for the workshop. In fact, small enough that I use it in my tool bag as well. - https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/park-tool-vc-1-valve-core-tool/ Same item is available from a wide range of manufacturers, at an equally wide price range. Or for the tool bag ? Plastic ones are okay for this, though the "Nutcracker" is VERY handy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Spin Posted June 3, 2021 Share I also don’t agree with the R200 price. It doesn’t fit my valves and needs to be modified to work. Garbage product from Park Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a chain breaker similar to pic, the little gap at the bottom fits perfectly around the valve head to allow you to unscrew/screw.

Eddy Gordo Posted June 3, 2021 Share 59 minutes ago, ouzo said: again, pricing confirms we are being ripped new ones by the industry Agreed, I import most of my spares. I pay less than half the price compared to what it costs here and thats after shipping and duties. Even cycling clothing is a major ripoff. Those materials costs so little per meter, but the finished garments are almost always ridiculously high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
