Hi guys lookin for some advice on the mucoff valve kits to go tubeless on my decoy
Is there a particular reason they come in different lengths or is this just for extra bling ,thanks in advance
I’ve had two punctures on the stock tubes and tyres already but I don’t know if the rear tyre just didn’t have enough psi ?

Some rims are deeper than others. I prefer a short valve sticking out, others may prefer to see more. It only has to be long enough for your pump head to latch onto.

I always wrap some ptfe tape around the base of the tubeless valve before inserting into the rim, then gently tap it in with a soft hammer.

Remember to carry a spare inner tube with you and the means to use it (tyre levers, mini-pump etc). And of course the means to remove the tubeless valve after it's been in place for several years! :)
