Know before you buy
The correct length depends on the depth of your rim. You need a valve long enough to protrude through the rim bed and the valve hole so that you have enough clearance to attach your pump head securely.
These stems are designed for use with the tape method of tubeless conversion. While they are compatible with most standard rims, please note that the Schrader version is not compatible with stepped Hugo rims.
A removable core allows you to inject tire sealant directly into the valve stem using a syringe or injector tool. This is much cleaner and faster than unseating a portion of the tire bead to pour sealant inside.
Yes, these are Presta valves, which are the standard for most modern performance cycling rims. They work perfectly with any floor pump equipped with a Presta-compatible head.
These stems are intended for use with tubeless-ready rim tape. Ensure your rim is properly cleaned and taped before installation to create the airtight seal necessary for a tubeless setup.
