valve movement tubulars

[andyhunter]

is there a device that will slot in to close the gap that is causing the valve to move at rotation ?

Electrical tape. Solves all problems.

only problem is the tyre is glued to the rim and cant be taken apart and gap is very narrow but enough for valve to move making trying to wrap a bit of tape awkward, was just thinking there now of silicon.

I've seen guys just poke a hole into a piece of tape, but valve through said hole, then apply the rest to the rim, making sure it doesn't reach your braking surface.

il give it a go and test to see what works best. a rubber shim would be great to seal tightly.

Some inner tubes come with a little soft plastic tube over the valve which,if cut in half,would do the job.

if i had a cnc machine handy i could of made me own rubber cover/stopper. Tried a sennheiser earbud and it slots over the valve but too fat for the rim hole. going to try what you mentioned and then see if i can get an oring that will fit before using tape or silicon.
