Just converted my winter bike to tubeless after averaging a puncture per ride. Anyway,on removing the Spesh inner tubes I noticed those flats on the valve core and after a quick fiddle (I was very excited) I found that Specialized inner tubes have a removable valve core. Don't spend a fortune (well, £7) on Stan's valves, spend £5 on a Spesh inner tube, cut off the valve and put £2 towards your next pint!

Schwalbe also have removable cores. Most 'decent brand' tubes do also.

How were you averaging a puncture a ride!? I don't think i've had one puncture in all the time i've been mountain biking.

I had that last year, thorns. I was lucky if i only got one a day, often it was 2, worst was 2 thorns in each wheel on the way home. Switched to other bike with tubeless and pulled 20+ out my tyres in a month.
