    Anyone happen to know what the wheel valve stem hole diameter is?
    Looking to get new rubber stems, thinking about these TR412 stems, which "should" fit, just want to be sure.

    Thanks

    412 is correct and the shortest for better access by the disc. I personally don't like 90 deg stems, but that's another option.

    Thanks for the verification. I have some new 413's, but as you mentioned the shorter 412's would allow better access.

    Thanks again.

    Is there a specific reason to not like angled stems or?

    I got an aluminium 90deg one installed when they fixed my rear tire puncture.

    Irrationally don't like them. Never have. Probably because most my shit is old with tiny, wimpy brakes. But really it's that I don't like the idea of compressing rubber washers with essentially a bolt to rely on my tire air. I don't have ANY instances or examples of failure to share. Again, an irrational aversion. Like phone calls and voice mail.

    I think theres a lot of rationale in keeping it simple, and avoiding adding possible weak points into the equation, especially something critical.

    Now there's a tiny voice in my head going: "that valve is working its way loose.." XD
