Geoff.C 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The postage sounds a bit excessive, but schraeder valves to work with the high pressure sound cheap enough to me at £4. Sure you can get automotive types designed to cope with tyre pressure, for pence, but they are not good enough. If you have a light aircraft maintenance facility nearby, you might try priceing up some schraeder valves for oleo legs. Best to just get the proper jobs in my opinion.

landrover 6 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 the valves are the same as those used in mountain bike tyres, get them from your local mountain bike shop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pestcontroller 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 the valves are the same as those used in mountain bike tyres, get them from your local mountain bike shop i dont think that the ones used in mountain bikes will withstand high pressure the same has car ones won't.
