There's a guy on facebook who used SIDS adapters for RockShox and metal valve/caps. This is by far the easiest way. Me being me I opted for the much harder method of drilling, tapping and installing truck wheel schrader valves (long story).
I ordered RockShox you posted the link to. Unfortunately, they are a hair too big to screw in. I measured the thread width with electronic calipers. The stock screw was about 4.60mm and the RockShox were 4.90. (or maybe it was 3.60 and 3.90 but the same difference) I really wanted them to be an easy fix, damn! Freddy, can you post some instructions and tips on how you installed the Shrader valves?? I don't want to f... up my shock caps.
