Question about tire tube

17 Mar 2010 20:25

I need to get tube and tire for stock Z1 rims.
Looking at tubes, most of them are "TR4/TR6-standard-8mm-straight metal stem" and just a few "rubber stem".
Those straight metal stem is the one i want to get?

You need the staight metal valve stems, not the rubber ones. Metzeler makes very high quality tubes. I highly recommend them; this is not a place to skimp. Ed

Thank you.
I take your recommendation and get metzelers.
The reason I was wondering is the bike came with 16" rim and had a rubber stem tube in it. (I will change to 18" rim)
