We had a bike in today with a puncture .
Nothing strange with that except it had a tube in a tubeless tyre and wheel.
As you know a tube has a metal valve, a tubeless one has a rubber one. This bike had a special nut that fitted that went over the valve as normal but it had a lip that went in to the rim stopping the valve from moving about.
Anyone know where I can get some of these gadgets? They used to be sold back in the eighties but not seen them until today.
tube valve gadget?

Re: tub;ess
no but you know the round nut that you tighten up to hold the valve against the rim its that but it has a hrrl that fills the gap around the valve and rim

Re: tub;ess
My innova has a tubeless tyre but it must have a tube because of the spokes.
