TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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 DJuice and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted January 10, 2021 Share Thanks, those are std. ones with a "rubber only head", no Al support for the rubber from the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted January 10, 2021 Share Just googled, didn't know them, that also look good, price similar to the Lezyne ones but doesn't look like local.For sure not local but I'm pretty sure steve outsourced the manufacturing to chris king so quality should be right up there with the best TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbyB Posted January 10, 2021 Share Try EasyBike in Durbs, they do stock MucOff products but unsure about valves though? TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisismyotherbike Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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 Share 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. dasilvarsa and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
