TiagoFigueiredo Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi to everyone around in the forum. its my first topic so thank you all for visiting. Im dealing with my first flat and replacing my inner tube. Not sure on other EU wheels and tyre mesures but mine's a 16'' x 2.125 tube circle, however after i've purchased a few inner tubes to test, i noticed they come with standard long 30mm schrader valves while the original kenda one has 20mm, so when i tried to cruisethe valve is hitting the inner shell / case of the unicycle. i tried to reach kenda on this to get a inner tube like the original one but got no reply.... so im im think the most experience people here in the forum could give me some assiatence and ideas on where to get a tube like this, or direct me to a retailer or shop that might have them. i leave pictures illustrating the difference below. (as seen the original is smaller and with or without the cap the universal long valve one hits the segway inside shell) ideas are welcomed cheers and merry christmas to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebeche Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Usually unicycles come with the tube with angled / bent valve. Don't know where are you from, but you can order one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16x2-125-Inner-Tube-with-Angled-Valve-for-Electric-Bike-100-butyl-rubber-/162285232496?hash=item25c8f42170:g:OeAAAOSwsLtVfbdv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiagoFigueiredo Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 tried a bent valve too, and atill touches the inside shell of the solowheel, making noise while cruising. has anyone come across this ? ideas and suggestions are very welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxLinux Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Maybe I'm being overly optimistic considering the Solowheel company is barely alive, but I wonder if you've tried contacting Solowheel to either buy a tube from them or find out what is the correct tube?

TiagoFigueiredo Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 yap they ve provided me with a link for a pair of inner tubes like the original 30dollars plus shipping...... i was hoping for something more economical, universal tubes are around 3bucks a piece..

Smoother Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you bent value is hitting the bodywork,then it is bent the wrong way. You need to find I tube where it is bent so that it is parallel with the tube, not perpendicular to it. There is a link somewhere on the board Jason McNeil sells them ask him @Jason McNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiagoFigueiredo Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 sure..... do you mean like this type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiagoFigueiredo Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 90degrees would do it, however, it cant be long in the beggining or else it will still hit it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 1 hour ago, TiagoFigueiredo said: sure..... do you mean like this type? I can't tell from that picture. Just make sure the valve is in line with the tube and not 90* across the tube. HERE IS A LINK TO THE CORRECT TYPE. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013SHOZ52/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
