Valve stem angle?

Skyd · 05-23-2021, 03:50 PM

Hey guys, so my front tires valve stem is at a decent angle. I don't love it, but is there a way to fix this without removing the tire?

Or is this a non issue?

Let all the air out and break the beads on the tire, rotate the tire on the rime til the stem is straight. If it gets too far angled, and you keep riding it, it will tear the stem out of the tube.

Ya that was my thought and it's already more than I'd like it to be. I'll give that a try and see if I can get it to move.

well I deflated the tire, rolled it backwards and grabbed a hand full of brake and it straightened right out. Aired it up to 24lbs and went for a ride.
