Only when we have to! bloody horible things I know, I'm actually OS in Finland at the moment, and they just love them here. EVERYONE uses them, the bike shops say "its because they're easier to pump up" well ... thank god for that, cos I'm always NEEDING to pump up the wretched things. I still think they're toys for toy bikes, perhaps there is some advantage to which I am unaware now :-) See Ya (when bandwidth gets better ;-) Chris Eastwood Photographer, Programmer Motorcyclist and dingbat please remove undies for reply |

They come standard on most bikes like Avon's full range, you can swap them out if you wish of course using another tube with a Schrader or Presta valve type, and they do leak slowly needing a rubber reed check every now and then and a drop of some moisturising agent on the reed ( pure silicon spray works - like wet suit preservative). horses for courses R -- rooman |

HiYa
please remove undies for reply Hi out there.....long time no contrib... yeah ... its been a while the Woods Valves are used widely in India, so maybe they are the highest used valve types in the world, even if they aren' t so popular gosh ... handn't thought of them, wonder if the Chinese are using them too, if so then without doubt the highest use bicycle valve technology on the planet! They come standard on most bikes like Avon's full range, you can swap them out if you wish of course using another tube with a Schrader or Presta valve type, and they do leak slowly needing a rubber reed check every now and then and a drop of some moisturising agent on the reed ( or faster when the local kiddies comearound and remove all the valves of the bikes in the rack. pure silicon spray works - like wet suit preservative). good point ... I'll squirt some in! now .. if only I can cut down punctures from the broken beer bottles ... :-) See Ya (when bandwidth gets better ;-) Chris Eastwood Photographer, Programmer Motorcyclist and dingbat please remove undies for reply |
