thisismyotherbike Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 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? I love them. Can't remember the exact number, but they are significantly lighter than the standard OEM valves in my wheelset, they look bling and the valve remover tool built into the valve cap has made me a hero on the road twice now. I doubled down and ordered for our mountain bikes as well, in colours matching our frame detailing. Edit: I guess I should address how they perform as tubeless valves too.... They seal really well and come with 3 different rubber fittings for different hole sizes or rim shapes. Did I mention that they look pretty?

They're not importing the valves currently. TWT shows the CNC TLR valves as comng soon along with some new tools and pumps. Also look into the Giant tubeless valves. The vlves are more road focussed though as they cater for 42mm profile rims, 55mm and 80mm profiles
TheoG Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 Unfortunately 80mm is not going to work for me ...
DieselnDust Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Unfortunately 80mm is not going to work for me ... Try Dragon Sports. The Giant tubeless valve for rims up to 42mm depth should work. Its a 55mm long valve overall.Not the valve for 55mm deep rims (that one is 80mm long)someone will get confused trust me

The concept that you can check & top-up sealant without deflating the tire work great, love it. The part I don't like about them is the fact that I battle my ass off to get them to seal properly on the rim. The inner rim valley and the valve hole size (too big) is probably causing the issue. I ended up cutting a patch from an old inner tube for the valve to seat on, that seems to be working, only been 3 days, but so far so good. In the long run, I'm still looking for the ultimate tubeless valves ...

I need to replace my short valves with longer ones. so I guess I will give these a miss.
TheoG Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Maybe I was a bit too harsh too soon on the Milkit valves. I got them to seal at last, pressure been consistent on 2 bar for the last three rides. Yes pricy, but they make it so easy and simple to check/replace/top-up sealant without deflating the tire, no mess no fuss. You need to buy the syringe kit also though.
Chadvdw67 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Was at Cycle Lab in Boksburg earlier and they have some really nice tubeless valves with that alloy piece behind the sealing rubber, they have a couple different colors available as well, sadly they all have black plastic caps, but anyway, they are R150 a set if anyone is interested, will post a picture tomorrow
