So the stupid little presta valve thing in my UST wheel broke last night.

Note to self. Keep extras of that part from now on :p

I have a few spare valves that I keep with me for rides - so far I have not needed any. My LBS sold them to me for about $4.50 I think... :think:
Holy crap! That little valve costs more than a tube (which includes a valve)? :dead:

I have cut the stem off of a bad tube and used it in a UST rim successfully. Cheap and ghetto is the way to go.

Speaking of Ghetto, where the hell has she been? Anybody heard from her?
