That is like saying do not buy a K100 because I had one break down! One split valve does not make a trend or an epidemic.MartinW wrote:Do not use the rubber pull through right angle ones. I had one split at the rim resulting in rapid air loss on the highway.

Actually, I mirrored Martin's experience so his is not an isolated case, I had the mechanic fit pull-through right angle valves on my K75 rims and both failed at speed, albeit only slowly leaking air. I now only use all-metal short straight valves.BobT wrote:That is like saying do not buy a K100 because I had one break down!
