Hello

I have been looking for an inner tube with a side valve.  the only thing i found was a place in the UK
that sold Continental.

Does any one know if there is a place in the US that has these?

I don`t know if it would be too safe to run an innertube in either tire of the Valkyrie. If you've got a puncture you would probably be better off removing the tire and patching from the inside.

Guess I have only one question: Why an innertube?

An outertube would wear too fast?

The tire industry is going tubeless for a lot of reasons. My motocross bike and my early 70s street bike were plagued by tubes. If tubes are improperly inflated they will blow quicker than a tire that is under inflated-think extreme chafing. Some one else asked and I will also-WHY an innertube?? RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

Inner tubes in tubeless tires are a bad idea. friction= heat=failure =  :'(

I had an inner tube installed on a front tire by my local motorcycle shop because the tire on had 500 miles on it. Filled it with nitrogen to keep the moisture out and I would top it off only with compressed nitogen. 10k miles with no issues with it.

They wont patch motorcycle tires....

Bridgestone had made the front tube..
but doing a quick search.. I found a Continental F/G 16 for the rear.

for the labor of doing a rear tire, just get a new tire.
