I know this has sort of been discussed, but it was a while ago.
I have Kinesis K5 wheels (mid-1990s ?) that I need either new valve stems or just the seals. They are leaking like a sieve right now at the base of the stem.
What works? Replace the seal or the whole thing?

Kinesis was bought out and isn't much help. I refurbed some Kinesis K27's with Thacher's help for wheel bolt parts. I'm not sure what size valve stems your wheels are, but my K27's required 3 piece motorcycle valve stems... I found a set on eBay. PM me if you need the link. Thatcher is a huge help though- here's his link.
