Changing from Schrader to presta.

bigdavep

When i got my new wheels they came with little grommets in the valve holes. At the time i was using schrader valves so took em out. I prefer presta however and cant find the grommets that i took out.. dont suppose anyone knows where i can get some spare ones. have looked on net but couldnt find any.

Thanks

Dave

just get Schwalbe tubes as the valve lock rings have a shoulder on them neaning you dont need the inserts.

Oh! I'd noticed the little shoulder but it never occurred to me what they're for. Thanks for that!
