Before installation, clean the debris at the valve installation hole position on the steel rim and polish it smooth. Cut a section from the old inner tube with the valve, and then cut out a circle with a radius of 2 cm around the valve. Place one circle on the valve and install it on the steel rim, then fit the other rubber ring over the valve outside the steel rim.

Fixing air leaks in tubeless tire valves isn't actually difficult, and I often handle it myself. First, spray soapy water around the valve stem - the bubbling spot shows the leak source. If it's leaking at the core, just replace it with a new valve core costing a few dollars, using only a small wrench as tool. Regularly check that the sealing ring hasn't aged or cracked, otherwise it'll leak again soon. For severe leaks or base damage, the entire valve stem needs replacing - inexpensive but time-consuming, usually a 30-minute job at repair shops. Don't forget regular tire pressure checks; catching slow leaks early makes driving safer and saves fuel too. After years of driving, I can quickly solve these minor issues. For anything beyond DIY skills, always seek professional help - safety comes first.

New drivers on highways should pay attention to the following precautions and driving tips: 1. There must be an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience in the passenger seat; 2. Avoid making sudden steering wheel movements on the highway; 3. When merging from the ramp onto the highway, it is advisable to accelerate to around 60-70 km/h before entering the main lanes, while paying attention to oncoming traffic from the left. Before setting off, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the vehicle, including checking tire pressure, coolant, brakes, etc. Unlike regular roads, highways do not allow for random stops. If an accident occurs on the highway, it can be troublesome, not only causing delays but also increasing personal danger.

How is the average speed over a distance calculated?

Interval speed measurement is calculated as follows: the interval speed equals the interval distance divided by the travel time. Interval speed measurement refers to setting up two adjacent speed measurement points on the same road section. By measuring the time it takes for a vehicle to pass between these two points, the average speed of the vehicle in that section is calculated, and whether the vehicle is speeding is determined based on the speed limit standard for that section. The interval speed measurement system establishes a monitoring and capture system by setting up cameras at road checkpoints. It conducts real-time monitoring and captures images of vehicles passing through the monitored area to obtain information such as the vehicle's speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics. This information is then transmitted via a network to the public security traffic command center and the traffic control sub-center's database for data storage, query, comparison, and other processing.
