[Closed] Replacement Schrader valve core (high pressure)?

[#7856667]

So I have a leaky Schrader valve in my canyon shapeshifter thing. I'm sure Canyon would sort it out, but replacing a valve core is very easy so I'll just DIY. Anyway, it's quite high pressure (15+ bar) so I don't know whether all valves (eg from old inner tubes) are suitable, or are some made for higher pressures?

Does anyone sell high pressure schrader valve cores?

Any out of my old schrader tubes. Never heard of high pressure versions.

Edit
That's only 220psi,used inner tube ones in fox shocks before at similar pressure

Yeah, I've replaced Fox ones with inner tube versions and it's fine, but I never tried using >200psi. Whereas my Monarch shock and the Shapeshifter both require upwards of 240psi.

Guess I'll try one out of an inner tube and see what happens.

I've had over 250 in older fox shocks before and a quick Google says a metric **** tonne more than that is possible
