Advice needed - valve query

FoldingJoe

Guys,

Just picked up my new bike (well second hand I guess) and the rear wheel seems to have the valve, but not the internal piece of the valve.

Wheels are 60mm FFWD's.

Just from this weak as pee description, can somebody advise what I need to buy to sort it out?

Cheers

Could be just a dunlop valve innertube?

FoldingJoe

The valve piece just screws off, so should in just buy some new valve extenders? any to avoid?

Also, what type of tubes do I need if I'm buying spares?

Or a valve with a removable core? If so then the tube would be deflated if the core is missing...

Sounds like a removable core...

Someone used a lezyne pump, and got so annoyed they sold the bike!

Tube seems to be holding its pressure - but there isn't much in there.

Any cycle shops in the direction of Paddington from Charing Cross I could pop into who might have what I need?

One of these?

My guess would be that if they're 60mm wheels, they would be regular tubes with a valve extender screwed in. Some of them don't have the center to the valve, and I think you just attach the pump and start pumping.

Cheers guys.

Ended up in on yer bike in London Bridge.

Had no valve cores so ended up buying some tubes with super long valves.

Got to get this bike out tomorrow. :-)
