3putthater Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I recently got a v11. The pump engages with all but one fine. One of the valve stems at top of shock, the little metal piece in center of valve that needs to be depressed is a little shorter. Anyone know if that can just be screwed out and replaced? I can see a lock washer below but on valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 All the valves (2 on each side shock, 1 in the tire) have a standard core. Any bicycle shop or such sells them. Do buy a proper tool for screwing then out as well, since you only break them with pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmentin Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) The valve extender that came in my V11 box also had a Schrader valve stem removal tool attached. I just used it to remove the tire valve stem to add slime to the tube. For loosening the valve stem, you'll have to use it without the extender, and grab the tool with pliers. When putting the valve stem back in, you can put it back on the extender and crank it in by hand. You may be able to unscrew it a bit to get it seated at the right height. Probably worth a shot.
