1 Answers
Release the air from the tire, press down the tire at the position where the valve stem is installed, cut off the valve base, pull out the valve stem, insert the new valve stem from inside the rim, pull it with pliers, and the base will snap onto the rim's circle to complete the installation. Below are detailed introductions about the valve stem: 1. Introduction: A valve stem is an independent valve device that allows gas to enter the space of a tubeless tire or inner tube when opened, then automatically closes and seals to maintain air pressure, preventing gas from escaping the tire or inner tube. Except for solid tires, all inflatable tires or inner tubes require this device for inflation. 2. Classification: French valve stem, British valve stem, American valve stem.
