Yeah I know there was just a thread on valve stems going around but I waited because it was :rainbow:
I was flipping thru some mag and saw flush mount stems. The purpose was for dress up but it seemed like a good idea to keep them out of harms way. Now I can't seem to find them again. Anyone know what I'm talking about.

i have them. and they work for ,, not getting ripped off by the rocks and people always ask about them. but they are VARY restrictive and it takes longer to air down and much longer to air up. i plan on removeing them and going with the new Klun V valves as soon as i can pay for a set of bead locks. my thingking is the bead lock ring will keep the rocks away from the valve.

Klun V valve? Guess I'll have to do some research for when my beadlocks come in.

Try www.mrtracing.com they sell the flush mount stems. Kinda pain in the butt, but much better that trying to replace astem on the trail, and I think they are only like $5 ea. Hope this helps.
