One pair of my wheels have these rather nice valves. As you can see, most valves wont fit at all and the short straight ones in the other pair are a nightmare to get an air line on. Anyone know where I can get some like this?

They are the only real option I found too. I have discovered that the ones I have are from k&l supplies, I could order from america, but it will cost over £60!

Last time I had this problem I bought some brass commercial/agricultural ones and tweaked them to shape with a ring spanner once fitted.

The ones I have are pleasingly small though. They really suit the wheels. Bigger valves will be way too obtrusive. Not prepared to spend £60 on valves though!! I have a while to deal with it, trying to find a part worn tyre to mock up sizes with is proving impossible!

What are the wheels btw, Cheviots or wiremags? I'm not sure if mine aren't meant to have those valves as you have to pull the rubber valve over a bit to get the airline on it.

The valves in them at the moment are K&L supplys 32-8218 but there not that cheap. Not too bad but once you ship they are too much really. Come in packs of 6 for some reason.
