    Metal Valve Stems for Tubeless Tires

    Anyone know off-hand either what the exact hole size is for the valve stems on tubeless rims OR a direct replacemant that doesn't require any drilling or reaming-out the stock hole??? Them smallest diameter available at NAPA is just a tad too big and I thought maybe someone here would know a good source to get one from...
    Thanks for any help in this..TV

    I've got them before from Dennis Kirk, it is listed in the catalogue as for rims with an 8.4 MM hole. You should be able to find one at a bike shop that mounts tires.

        Thanks!!!

        I found the OEM stock Part # 93900-00001-00
        and ordered 3 from Honda East Toledo
        where I buy all my stock parts for all
        of my bikes, been dealing with them for
        like 5 yrs and they always do me right.
        Got three for $5.44 each...
        I live in a one-horse town (AND it's half-dead)
        Much more cost efffective to buy on-line
        or by phone instead a driving 100+ miles
        for a $6 part....
        But, thanks for all the replies...;

          Hi tv5150,
          Before you install that valve stem. Clean the "landing area" with
          a bit of fine snadpaper. It took me 3 months to figure out that was where my leak was
