Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your rim has a standard valve hole (up to 8mm).
- Remove the valve core from the Stans NoTubes Alloy Valve Stem.
- Insert the stem through the valve hole from the inside of the rim.
- Secure the stem with the base resting firmly against the rim.
- Thread on the lockring (if provided with rim/wheel) and tighten by hand. Ensure the stem is straight.
- Add sealant through the valve stem opening.
- Reinstall the valve core and tighten gently.
- Mount your tubeless tire and inflate to seat the bead.
Compatibility:
These valve stems are compatible with most tubeless-ready rims, especially Stan's BST and BST-R rims. Ensure your rim's valve hole is within the specified range (up to 8mm).
Care:
- Periodically check that the lockring is snug to prevent leaks.
- Clean the valve stem and threads with a damp cloth if dirt or sealant residue accumulates.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- When adding sealant, ensure the valve core is fully removed to prevent clogging.
