Marty Backe Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 23 hours ago, SanDiegoGuy said: I was using the metal valve extender to check the tire pressure of my Z10 and I accidentally pressed the power button while the extender was still screwed into the valve of the tire. Once the power was on, the tire rotated and extender that goes though the hole of the outside case just snapped the entire valve off the tire and instantly deflate the tire. Now the valve is complete out of the tire so now I have to order a totally new tire. :-( I am so upset now. I just hate the power button of the Z10 so much. It is so sensitive. Why can't they require a long press to power on the wheel. Argggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Now I probably have to order a brand new tire from aliexpress. The hard part is not the order but the freaking time of opening up the Z10 to change the tire. This is such bad luck :-( It is probably pretty time consuming and not that easy to change the tire since the tire is pretty firm. I have to search for a youtube video on how to change the tire of the Z10 :-( What a bummer. I can imagine how you felt. I assume that the wheel wasn't laying on it's side when it was turned on? I always do all work with the wheel laying on it's side. If the wheel was on it's side and it rotated when you turned it on, that's a bad sign for sure. Good luck with your valve repair. Maybe post additional information for the community, as you do the repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) This isn’t the first time it’s happened. I remember other people accidentally doing the exact same thing while inflating. There really should be some sort of standard master key lock cut off switch on these to keep this sort of accident from happening. Even little kids with curious fingers could easily get hurt turning one on accidentally and having it fall over closeby. Imagine a kid holding onto the tire or getting a hand stuck between tire and shell... Other vehicles capable of 50 kph have keys or some kind of safety measures. Why not EUCs?

Please measure the diameter of the valve, the portion where the rim rests on the valve. Is it 11mm or 18mm? I believe it is 11 mm in diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe post additional information for the community, as you do the repair. You assumed right Marty. The wheel was upright and was not on its side. Next time I will lay the wheel on its side to measure the tire pressure. It was so heart wrenching when I heard the "pop" sound as I accidentally pressed the power button. :-( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanor, the Ebay link that you showed me is in Spanish and I do not know if I can order it from there. I tried the do a search on the ninebot valve using the USA/English page but it does show any result for that specific Ninebot minipro valve. The Z10 valve looks exactly like the minipro valve. Do you have the link where I buy it if I am in the USA ? Thanks. Edited October 16, 2018 by SanDiegoGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanor Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 or try searching with the words "Minipro valve". As I live in France, google redirects me to french website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will order 2 just in case. Wow, the shipping cost is about $10. It is more than 2 of these valves combine. Oh well, when I am desperate, I have to accept the high shipping fee. Now time to cancel my Amazon order of the wrong valve. Thank you for the info on the correct valve Stanor or I would have ordered the wrong valve from Amazon :-) Edited October 16, 2018 by SanDiegoGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanor Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) To facilitate the installation of the valve, you will need to grease it. there are products that attack the rubber. food oil can be used.

Unfortunately the core is fine. The leakage is between rubber and the threaded brass part. The rubber is separated from the brass. I have to replace the assembly. It is the original valve. The wheel was delivered with tubeless tire. I don't know why this leakage appears Edited October 16, 2018 by Ch.Eng.62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
