Anyone know where I can get a Schrader valve with threaded stem +
mounting flange? The little bike shop which used to sell them has sadly
closed down, and I can't seem to locate a source.

TIA

Scrounge scrap valve stems from a local type fitter. Under the rubber
coating is a brass stem which can be soldered into a suitable fitting for
your application.

Any decent car accessory shop etc that sells go faster bits. They're
called high speed valves and used on some types of alloy wheels.

This is one source for a posh stainless variety.

But I'd guess Halfords would have them in the Ripspeed section.

I asked the same question here a few months ago... I tried all the local
tyre depots, Halfords and custom car specialist outlets etc to no avail
and eventually got sorted out on ebay with no problem!

Thanks. I have done this before when I've had no choice, but the
threaded flanged ones are so much easier to use :-)

Ah, ok, thanks. I didn't realise they were still in use on cars. Will
try some car places.

I've been looking on ebay for a few days, but no sign of any. Will keep
an eye out. Thanks.

Strange. They're still OEM on some cars and definitely on serious off
roaders. Of course most tyre places ain't going to care as a standard
valve will work for most purposes.

If you get stuck I've got a spare set of wheels for the SD1 with some
fitted with them.

Only of use to me if a 15" Vitesse/EFI one - all others used 14". I dunno
if the 14" alloys used these nut secured valves.
