Title: Do these valves fit RM's
Post by: laydon on 04 April 2005, 16:48

They are the Richbrook ones. I quite like the idea as the standard ones are hard to clean around but I'm not sure if they will fit.

the hole for the valve is alot smaller on the rms than normal rims for some reason... so they might not fit...

genuine bbs rims have smaller holes yes but some after market wider wheels have the standard sized hole so would work on those i suppose, still not sure about the normal ones though...:undecided:

I had this e-mail from Richbrook about the flush fit valves.

Dear Dean

 

The flush fit valves need a totally flat area around the hole, other wise you will not get a seal. This wheel looks like it might be curved around the hole. If this is the case, then I unfortunately would not recommend them.

 

Thank you

Keep us informed about the e-bay purchase :wink:
