Full details
Stan's NoTubes Alloy Valves are designed for cyclists seeking a lightweight and reliable solution for their tubeless setups. They offer a significant weight reduction compared to standard brass valves, crucial for performance-oriented riders, while maintaining a secure fit on most tubeless rims, including all Stan's BST and BST-R rims. A potential drawback is their aluminum construction, which might be more susceptible to corrosion than brass in certain environments.

Troubleshooting
Valve stem is leaking air
Ensure the lockring is sufficiently tightened. Check that the rubber base of the valve stem is seated properly against the rim. Inspect the valve core for damage or debris and ensure it is properly seated.
Sealant is not flowing through the valve
Remove the valve core and ensure it is not clogged with dried sealant. Clean the valve core and reinstall it. If the issue persists, try adding sealant through the tire bead if possible.
Valve stem feels loose
Tighten the lockring on the valve stem. If the issue persists, there may be an issue with the rim or the valve stem's base; consider replacing the valve stem.
