How do i get the inside of a Valve Extensioner out of a carbon rim?
How do i get the inside of a Valve Extensioner out of a carbon rim?
I have one hole (valve size) and a smaller hole on each side which is a spoke hole that i can poke into. Shaking has done nothing, as the valve is lying flat and the hole is straight up and down.. grrrrrrr, it is a topeak Valve Extensioner and the inside sh1t itself and fell in and i am not happy. |

I use MIG wire (Mig welder welding wire). Its very thin and quite strong. I get a pair of pliers and make a really small hook at one end, then use it to get pieces of metal like that out. The last 3 rims I've bought have had a round piece of metal inside them I'm assuming is from when they drill the valve hole, enough metal to really annoy me while building the wheel. Got it out piece of cake with the wire hook... HTH Cheers Dre |

will do once it looses up it is stuck at the other end of the rim,
probably caught on a spoke, it rattles but isnt moving out. Will it be doing damage there? |

Your situation reminds me of an old joke: Father O'Leary is visiting the Seamus O'Flannery Reform School For Sinful Boys, when he accidentally locks his keys in his car. He consults with the warden, err, "Headmaster", who says: "Oh, young Johnny is in here for stealing cars, he'll be able to get your keys out!" They summon young Johnny to the car, and explain that they'd like him to use his talents to retrieve Father O'Leary's keys. "No worries Father!" says Johnny. He picks up half a brick, pitches it through the window then reaches in and pulls the keys out of the ignition. "There ya go!" (You can probably guess what my solution would involve. You're probably better off just living with it.) BTH |

I really dont think it will, it underneath the rim tape right? it cant even stick into your tube and give you a puncture... The worst thing is its going to make annoying noises! Cheers Dre |

Cheers Dre i dont have any rim tape, it doesnt make a noise once i am rolling over 8k/h it used to be all loose, but after a big ride like a said it is loged at the oposite end to the valve hole. it can still rattle but it wont roll around to the other end. |

You dont use rim tape? do you have something to cover the holes for the spokes to protect your tube? hmmmm, re-reads op, whoops, I just realised your talking about a carbon rim You running a tubeless setup? if so I wouldn't worry about the bit stuck in there...

rim not needed,
am running tubulars just woundering if the steel inside the carbon rim will damage it. |
