Going to order some tires from here, so I thought I would replace valve stems too. I bookmarked the ones available on ebay that have the nut inside of the rim, but wondered if these also fit and have anybodys belssings? Also pros/cons on beads vs goop to balance tires.

Thanks. Scott

With the nut on the out side.

They used to have quarterly sales, no shipping.

I use Ride-on.  Adds a little peace-of-mind about potential punctures in the centre of the tread, and no issues with blocking the valve stem open when checking tire pressure, as some have experienced with balance beads.

Was that in another post?

I just mounted 2 dual roller bearings in my new to me rear rim, for the rear bearing mod.

It didn't have any bearings, so I went with the 2 dual instead of the OEMs.

I'm with Gryphon Rider and use the Ride On balancer & sealant. I've been using the one that they sell for atv's (it's cheaper) and haven't had any issues.

Have you found a source in Calgary?  Last time I got mine was in 2015 in Montana.

What ever 90* valve stem you buy, make sure that there is a rubber seal on both sides of the rim when it is mounted...will never leak if installed properly...Also I highly recommend Ride-On over Dyna beads or any type of beads...!!! IMO...!!!

I just use wheel weights for balancing clipped onto the rim.  OLD school... :laugh:
