Hey guys -

I have an old set of Racing Beat wheels I'm restoring. They were made by Racing Hart back in the day for Racing Beat, so they're essentially RH wheels.

Anyhow, the hole in the wheel for the valve stem is 6mm or about 1/4". Standard valve stems are much larger than that, so I assume I need some fancy ones or something .

Any ideas on where to get these for a reasonable price?

<---------------- Same boat here with my RE Amemiya AW7s. A buddy told me that his go-to tire guy here in town should have them in stock. He'll know tomorrow. Crossing fingers that he's right as I need 3. LOL.

Dale, if he's right, I'll let you know. Might be faster than ordering from a random place. Do you need straight ones or 90*?

 

Sorry I never got back to you, Dale! No luck on my end finding replacement stems.

Did your wheels not come with stems at all?

 

I found a shop at Infineon raceway that sold me some for my old kosies..i still have some i think....i cant remember the shops name though...

I also saw some at a Tognottis in Sacramento.

 

I found some online but the price is outrageous

Dale, maybe the Volk metal stems would fit (I think they're aluminum). Should be available on eBay, but likely pricey...
