[Closed] where the heck can i buy replacement dt/eclipse valves ?

<justridingalong.com>

Very helpful with all things tubeless.

I got mine from JRA

about a fiver each IIRC

no they are not . lol . i bought the strips from them and said oh i need the valves to go with them. i waited two weeks for them to arrive as they had non in stock. then i try to fit and they dont seal at the valve . i called today to be told oh no we dont sell those anymore the ones you have may or may not work we havent tried that combo. i think jon would have told you when you ordered she said. yeah right as id have ordered them and tried fitting if they werent the right ones

i have one set of very expensive wheels from jra im pretty sure it will be my last from them too ;-(

ones i need are the ones with the square ends not the round ones jra no longer sell them unless i want to buy two full sets of kit at 72 quid i was told today. when all i need is two valve

poo pie of the highest order

do you have the round ones with the big base?

i have a pair of round ones with the big base and a pair of round ones with the little base . ah the joys of tubeless 😉

i was debating trying to trim the big bases down to fit but id prob **** it right up lol

I've got the DTswiss rimstrip with both the sqaure block ones and another set up with the big based ones. The rubber just pulls into the hole and seals it with no problem.

Don't trim the big based ones down just use them as they are, you may want to trim the sides A LITTLE as it just allows the tyre to sit on better.

my works OK with this set-up.

ive tried mate and i tightened up the nut as tight as i dare to as i didnt want to ruin the rim but it just pisses air out of the valve. i just cant get it to seat in properly.

any tips as yours works ok ? mine are the 5.1 rims and the rimstrip leaves a channel for the valve to sit in and it doesnt sit in it right due to the width

Mine are 5.1's as well, are you fitting the rim strip and then fitting the valve into the rim strip? his way the rubber base should pull into the rimstrip and seal.

I also cut bit of old innertube and put it between the washer and rim. to act as an additional rubber seal.

yeah that what i did mate but when it pulls it still leaves a gap but i will try again tomorrow using some tube to pack it out a bit. cheers

where does it leave a gap?

when it goes into the hole in the strip , inbetween the strip and the rubber on the valve i tighten up but it leaves a small gap but its big enough to loose the air ;-( i bit of tube my help ive tried already with some rubber washers but no good

i can see how the square ones will fit better but cant find them any place online to buy ;-( unless i want to buy two full sets which is madness

Mine pulled the rubber base into the strip and the strip down onto the rim therefore sealing, the small rubber washer on the outside of the rim was just an added precaustion because they have them on the square based valves.

are you using stans latex as this should seal the small hole?

im using stans wheel milk but at just over 20psi it blows out the hole
how tight did you do up the screw on the valve ? if i do mine any tighter i'll need pliers to remove its if i get a puncture

have a look at the Mavic UST Valves I've been running them on both my DT 5.1's and 819's

Only by hand, if you pump it up and fill it with stans then inflate to about 45PSI ish and hold the wheel so the valve is at the bottom and let the milk seal the hole, it may seem to take a while but it will seal it eventually.

i'll give it another go tomorrow . ive done lots of stans and never had a problem . bloody valves cant believe they arent avail aftermarket cheers

good luck

cheers lol

all the stans kits i've used are integral valves with the rim strip. only eclipse kits I've seen with seperate valves.

are you using stans rims with tape?

maybe worth while getting bmx tubes and doing the ghetto thing?

Sorted 🙂 i put a bit of inner tube between valve and strip i could do with a little washer that goes on the valve between the rim and locknut as i split one and the other one with it on sealed much better and quicker. Dunno where to get one tried making one with tube but didnt work. Cheers

I used an old DH tube for mine the hole in the centre only needs to be very small

I.ll keep my eye out for one. Cheers tho mate you inspired me to keep trying and saved me buying two new kits just for the valves at 72 a pop . Thanks
