Re: curved valve stem

they're a pain to get in when putting the tube in , but for me there's a lot of gas stations that have air chucks that are too big to get to teh regular valve stem because they are so big they hit the hub, so the curved ones are kinda nice in some ways IMO

now as for engine valves with curved stems...yes, those are a pain in the A$$ to work with

Re: curved valve stem

ummmmmmmmm

curved valve stems I thought were the easy ones

The striaght ones are inside that tiny *** rim, and make airing them up hard... Makes it so I can't use my foot pump to air it up, have to go to a gas station..

The curved one sticks out he side.. whats so hard about that?

Re: curved valve stem

Yeah, I got the curved ones in by drilling the hole in the rim out just a hair. I love them. As long as I don't have to change a tube/tire.LOL
