Stans Valve Stem

[steve1975]

Hi Everyone.

Does anybody know the differences between the different stans valve stems. I see on his website there is a "standard valve stem" and "olympic valve stem" I have a new crest custom wheel set and I wanna use the right valves!!!

 

Thanks

Those valves are way too expensive. Just cut one out of an old tube and use that. If it doesn't seal at first, use an extra piece of tube underneath that and pull it really tight with the valve nut.
