Metal Tyre valve stems

[Rich Hanlon]

Anyone know of a UK supplier of compatible metal tyre valve stems? I have a leaky one and the tyre places only seem to offer rubber valve stems. Ta!

Fit rubber ones. The reason it's probably leaking is because of galvanic corrosion of the alloy around the steel valve stem. Most of the refurb places recommend not using metal ones any more.

I seem to remember Dave H had some OEM metal valves available when I spoke with him approx 3months back

rubber is probably better but if you're dead set on an OEM look then Dave is deffo worth a bell
