Was at Watkins Glen this weekend; new car was everything I had hoped it would be.
Only problem is that the Moton CLub Sport shock resevoirs have 3 broken Schrader valves (the littlle valve where the nitrogen is added); I am not sure whether some ham-fisted mecahnic (that would be me) did it or what.
Anyway - I need some new ones, and want to get high quality (and some spares).
These are very common items but can anyone suggest a good source for them?
TIA - back to WGI next week with Chin and Hudson Champlain. Then I really ought to concentrate on my work.

 

Rick:

Do you need the insert or the whole outer assembly?

 

Hi Steve
The pin is broken (on all 3) and so perhaps it is the insert I also need a Schrader tool to remove it).
Mechanic that looked at it said to make sure I got good quality so I hesitated to just go on down to NAPA or the bike shop.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

 

most bike shops should have

 

Your NAPA store will have both the little tool and Schrader valves that will be just fine.

 

If you are ****, the best place to go is to a Refrigeration supply house. The Schrader valves that they sell have higher pressure & temperature rating than automotive tire ones. Also they sell a neat tool that has a clear body that holds ~8 spare valve cores. No more searching for them.

 

Larry, as is often the case, you are a big help - thank you.
I also contacted Moton and before I could say another word they had them packed and ready to ship - no cost, including no charge for 2nd day air. These guys have great service.

 

Rick,

I was just about to tell you to call Lex at Moton. He will send you anything you need.
