Do you guys have a preferred rear valve stem? or will any old 90 degree stem off amazon do?

Mostly any 90 degree metal stem will do, but you want one with a good rubber (air sealing) gasket.

You have to install them all from inside, but it can be done on a flat tire with big C clamps without tire removal from wheel.

There's a bunch of old threads on here (with pics) on this subject over the years.  

I have these in silver.  They lay flat on the wheel and have no flex at all putting an air chuck on them.  Never leaked either.

$2.05 plus shipping.  With shipping still less than OEM.  They last a lifetime (or at least until the rubber seal deteriorates which is longer than my lifetime).
