I saw Eroue France takes 50 Euros of shipment charges for shipping out FRANCE ?????? I am sure it was just a misprint, and you meant parallel to tube or in the same plane. Perpendicular is no good. In any case Jason will have the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I came at work with KS16 trying to carry a trolley weighting 13 kgs.. not so easy for it has small wheels and taking care of 3 wheels moving in 2 directions is not that easy so I ended up a bit confused to answer correctly LoL !!!

Polpus Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 @HEC yes whish my trip was so easy and flat During my travel I have to cross roads , climb stares and , worst case , a piece of my street is out-of-the-road (on big stones , the one you can find at the side of railroad , so in that case I have to take the trolley in my arms and sweat not to face plant ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perpendicular to the tube. This is no good, it will catch onto the wheel. You need one with the valve that is curved in the plane of the tube! I made the same mistake and bought a few tubes like this and had to thrown them out At least on the Firewheel, the wheel well is wide enough that having the valve stem curving out actually helps to attach the pump. Notice it doesn't stick out beyond the width of the tube in the picture, and it doesn't stick out beyond my 16x2.125 tire when it is mounted. You may be right with smaller tires like 16x2.0 though, it's possible they do stick out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On ks14, the valves sticking out are no good, they hit the inside of the casing. 16" may be mire forgiving. The valves are not gonna be perfectly paraller or perpendicular, there is always some kind of angle. And depending on that angle it may or may not work. You never know what the exact angle is gonna be until you buy. Yes its easier to attach the pump to the valve sticking out. But i had to dump 3 perfectly new tubes because that angle was such that the valve hit the casing. It may or may not work, but to be on the safe side better to get the one where the valve is more parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
