Review on Bike Bicycle Inner Schrader Valve by Daryl Fitch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Into the wilderness Bring the tubes!

I was trying to fit a tubeless system onto my mtg BUT the custom tubeless rim (WTB ask 35i) was so tight it took me over an hour (twice) to fit Board + the tire to mount, which resulted in the tire lever pinching the plates (twice)! An even worse problem was 3 DAYS! Eventually the broken heads had to be removed and the tire removed. Tubeless might be fine for the bike industry and some riders, but it's very dangerous for my riding style. Small groups and solo adventures go deep into upstate Montana. I can handle flats with my clincher rims and tubes. After only a few minutes it was time to drive. Not hours from days! From now on I will use my old days with cameras. With additional aFYI sealing protection in each chamber. Flats for the wild with tubeless tires. f! with tubes.😊
