This bugged the crap out of me too, especially on rough, chip-sealed roads and when using carbon wheels in cyclocross. Then I think I figured out an even more PRO solution than the one here (which was what I used). Before you install the valve stem/extension, wrap some scotch tape (like what you'd use for x-mas presents) a time or two (or three, depending on how big the hole in the rim is) around the shaft, right where it'll protrude through the rim. Clears the problem right up!<br/> <br/>Which makes me wonder what's MORE PRO...The electrical tape with it's PRO mechanic, just-fix-it-and-fix-it-quick style or my more subtle, so-PRO-you-don't-know-it's-there solution?<br/><br/>Til next time...keep up the good work!<br/>-JCF Ha!

Which makes me wonder what’s MORE PRO…The electrical tape with it’s PRO mechanic, just-fix-it-and-fix-it-quick style or my more subtle, so-PRO-you-don’t-know-it’s-there solution?

Til next time…keep up the good work!

I always use Teflon tape, the last thing I want to do is peel off a freshly glued tubbie to readjust a leaky valve. Thanks for taking the time to read. - RF Eric – The Problem Solvers seem to work the best of all that I have tried.
