Maybe I'll see if it'll play nice with a standard valve first... £25 before p&p for a pair of valves seems a bit steep...!

As per the title - I have been trying to find some Presta valves, suitable for tyre inserts... AFAIK, this only means that the valve stem is designed to allow air from the sides of the valve body as opposed from the end.. Can anybody recommend a decent brass/alloy valve body designed for...
