Rich Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Always liked the look of these and as I'm getting new wheels thinking of getting some. Just wanna know if these are prone to leaking or should I stick with the normal rubber ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanna know if these are prone to leaking or should I stick with the normal rubber ones? They are ok go for it. In years to come the rubber seals will perish and generate slow leaks, this is easy to resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Worth spending an extra 15quid to get them then, finished the look off as mine all have different size rubber valves! :rolleyes_anim: How do you pump the tyres up though, I assume you get an adaptor or something as I only use me portable compressor, not the ones in petrol stations. Also are they reusable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks, I will be getting some then... Take it these are tamper proof as well, as in no one could let your tyres down unless the extension is put on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thought I'd do a little update... Had the wheels for 2 months now and I check the pressures once a week/fortnight and only one wheel has lost half a psi in that time. Am really impressed with them Only downside is it takes abit longer to check them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
