    Straightening a wheel....

    Perhaps I need to post this in the Newbie thread, as I feel like its probably where I should be...! ..but here's the thing! I recently picked up a buckle in my rear wheel. It's a DT Swiss 27.5, as fitted as standard on my Merida e160 900e (2019). It was annoying me once I realised it was...

    Presta valve compatible with insert..

    Maybe I'll see if it'll play nice with a standard valve first... £25 before p&p for a pair of valves seems a bit steep...!
