You have to grind down the retaining tab (for the plastic stem holder) on the wheel if you want to use this on the Valk.  It only takes a minute of so, just don't sneeze  while holding the grinder Grin.

I have one on the rear and it appears to be fine, easy to fill and check with a 90 accutire guage. It was done after the last rear tire was changed due to a flat.

Tried to break the front bead with c-clamps but was unsuccessful so will wait until that tire gets swapped before swapping it out.

I took mine off and replaced with Patchboy type.  I did not grind the tabs and mounted them facing the left side.  Very difficult to access.  Love the new ones!

I have them on the Valk. Rear has the "T" cut off for a right side fit. Front faces left as I haven't cut the "T" off yet. Much easier access and you don't have to hold the stem while checking pressure.
