TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I'm looking for local suppliers of these: https://muc-off.com/collections/no-puncture-hassle/products/black-tubeless-presta-valve-pair The shipping cost from muc-off.com is more than the product. Anyone know where I can find locally?
shaper Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Specifically muc-off? Not sure anyone brings in locally I have used the Quaxar valves https://www.paragontech.co.za/product-category/wheel-parts-related/tubeless-valves/ which you should be able to get from your LBS

TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks, not the same. The Quaxar ones is more or less the same as any other tubeless valves. I like the muc-off ones because the rubber part is supported from the inside with Al (part of the valve base). I'm struggling to get my damn valves to seal properly and reliably. Probably to do with my rim shape on the inside and the fact that the valve holes are to big, can move the valve side to side way to much.

TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 how much are peaty's valves ? Just googled, didn't know them, that also look good, price similar to the Lezyne ones but doesn't look like local.
Neill Du Toit Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Also look at these https://cyclingstore.co.za/products/momum-tav-valves-aluminium-44mm-round-base
TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks, those are std. ones with a "rubber only head", no Al support for the rubber from the inside.
DJuice Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Take a look at E13 valves.Can’t seen to find the SA dealer.Was Get Stoked, but not sure or atleast no stock.https://getstoked.store/product-category/wheels/tubeless-valves/

RobbyB Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Try EasyBike in Durbs, they do stock MucOff products but unsure about valves though?

Probably to do with my rim shape on the inside and the fact that the valve holes are to big, can move the valve side to side way to much. be careful of the valves with exposed alloy bases. The ammonia and salts in some sealants is a lovely electrolyte for ion exchange and the valves will be the sacrificial anode leading to failure.If you do decide to use these just remember to replace them annually.I've stuck to brass for this reason except for road tubeless where the only option in 60mm length valves is alloy. I'll just bin the current valves in December 2021 assumign they don't fall apart before then but Enduro Seal seems very friendly at the moment
thisismyotherbike Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I use Muc-Off valves and order them from Merlin in the UK. Worth it if you are ordering a couple of items, the valves by themselves don't justify the shipping fee. I have a spare set of Muc-Off 80mm black valves. DM me if that is what you are looking for.
warick_wrx Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Out of interest I have had success with replacing the rubber section found on tubless valve ends with ptfe tape. Done this on my tubless road setup. No issues thus far.

Thanks very much for the offer. 80mm is way too long for my rims, need around half that. Edit: Do you like the muc-off valves, any issues with them besides the corrosion that DieselnDust pointed out?
monster ace Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I've currently got Muc-off valves installed on my bike and have had no issues with regards to corrosion.
