Metal Tyre Valve Stems

[KevinW]

Is there anyone here who has fitted metal valve stems to their S10 and can tell me which ones they fitted please? I've tried a couple of local bike shops and neither had anything that would fit, nor could they recommend anything.

People on the 'other forum' recommended a couple of US web sites where I could get some (but didn't know which ones they'd bought) but there must be somewhere in the UK I can get then from, mustn't there?

Thanks.

Kevin

I thought they were just normal valve holes in the rim, I have fitted some 90 degree ones to my fazer!

The problem is there is very little space in which to put the outside nut, particularly on the rear.

I was originally wanting to put 90 degree valves on but the reason i want metal valve stems is so I can put Garmin TPMS sensors on the end of them. It's been suggested to me 90 degree valves may not cope with that and I think that's a valid point.
