Can anyone recommend some tubes that don't have threading all the way down the valve stem? I've found myself with one of these and my track pump won't fit on it properly. Can't be bothered to take the OK one out and see what it is!

Just curious - what sort of track pump is it? I've never had this problem with [i]any[/i] pump. In fact, I've never seen a valve as you describe (so rule out Conti, Vredestein, Raleigh and Specialized)

It's a Wrench Force, and I've never had any trouble with it but I don't think I've come across the threaded-all-the-way-down type before either. Just doesn't move far enough down the stem to sit properly. Wanted to make sure I don't end up ordering some with the same problem, but looks like I can get some Contis with confidence- ta!

Oh! Looks like I'll have to get the front one out and see what it is then, or get down to a shop and look in some boxes.

Michelin - which are what I use (ie they're not threaded in case you're confused by the above conversation). Don't have problems with fitting a track pump as such, but threading certainly wears out the rubber washer on mine pretty fast.
