He is wanting to flip his rim....so he wants vlave stems that wont hit the brake caliper. WS, why dont u just drill a hole (on the caliper side) and put the valvestem pointing to the inside? Nobody will see it, and all u need is two regular valve stems. lol, i hope someone can explain it better than me.

 

[warriorspeed350]

It's not quite as simple as just drilling the holes and popping the stems in, because when you drill a hole you end up with burrs all over the edge. You need to break the bead in order to get to the inside of the wheel and smooth out the burrs, or the valve stem won't seal good. I don't know if it's even possible to put a valve stem in without breaking the bead, usually you pull them through threaded end first.

see thats what i mean...i wanna flip my rims but dont wanna deal with all that crap

 

[yamarider]

sounds like you're SOL then. I don't see a way of doing it without breaking the bead.

 

[warriorspeed350]

i havent been able to break a bead w/o a bead breaker

 

[micropilot]

Sorry man I have the flush valves in my fron rims and the only way to put them on is breaking the bead.

 

[warriorspeed350]

thats kinda hard for someone who doesnt have a bead breaker

 

[yamarider]

take them to a place that can mount tires, and get them to do it. I think that's your best option.
