To continue the theme with my lightweight cheapskate wheels...
Somewhat inspired by a video I saw this morning, has anyone tried using bog standard valves cut from an old inner tube instead of the stans universal valves? Rim is the olympic. I guess it might make getting latex in a bit tricky... any way of doing this without taking a valve stem out?
my first forry into running tubeless 🙂

works fine
i sent my valves to inverness with the missus - and wanted to be tubeless for a ride up glen clova.
cut up 2 old tubes - et voila !

oh aye - i had yellow tape in on 355s - you need to cut a square profile on the valve seat
also re latex - just stick it in beforefully seating tire !
