Title: Valve Stem
Post by: garretttpe on October 09, 2019, 08:13:03 AM

Weird Stuff, I was home last month and went for a quick ride in my woods and pulled one of my valve stems out of my tire,( good year raw hides)...I tried to break the bead to fix and i could not, I used a 2X6 on the  tire and drove my SxS on it and the bead would not break, the side walls were to soft IMO.....I will have to take it to a shop too get fixed now..errrrrrr

I carry emergency screw in valvestems and a tire pump in my tracked Max. Just in case. They’re made by Colby if anyone is interested.

 I have this one. It works very well. Makes short work of them R III's that are sometimes a real challenge to get to break.
