    I can imagine that the spoke / valve alignment in that picture is giving anyone who regularly builds wheels nightmares.

    Can we see a picture of the whole wheel...as I'd be questioning the lacing of the spokes rather than how the valve sits....

    I wanted to ask that also.

    Am I right in thinking that that's the rim join I can also see in the picture where the valve is? I always thought they sat opposite one another on rims (i.e. diametrically opposed)...

    It is a factory built Jitsie wheel. As Mark W said, the valve hole is drilled through the joint. I am sure the wheel is stronger this way. The valve is between two sets of crossing spokes, that probably reinforces the joint. Yes, it is difficult to put on the pump head but I prefer my wheel in one piece instead of saving few seconds with the pumping.

    Is your tire pressure too low?

    I run between 1.5-2 bar (22-29 psi). I don't know, I would consider these as average pressure.

    Bigger volume inner tube usually fixes this

    are you using 20” tubes or the correct 19” ones in that rear tyre?

    could also be solved by making the rim tape more grippy somehow? 

    Usually if i find the correct size for the tyre, i go with that but the same thing happens with that as well.

    In competitions in France you see some people who zip-tie their valve to the nearer spoke on the right and to the nearer spoke on the left with two different zip-ties. It’s highly unesthetic but it’s pretty efficient.

    I saw this before but I didn't know the purpose of it. I will give it a try.

     

    Thanks guys for the reply!

  3. My tyre with the inner tube is slowly (days, weeks) turning on the rim and the rim rips out the valve from the inner tube.
    Is this a common thing? Are there any tricks to fix this or should I just check my valve angle regularly?
    I have had many rims and tyres combination with this problem but never found a solution.

  4. Very interesting modification! Could you please make a more detailed photo of the dropouts?

    You had to move the rear hub axle in the dropouts by 25 mm to fit 24" wheel to 26" brake mounts...

    Here are a few pictures.

  5. what does "modified" mean,idf you dont mind me asking?

    looks awesome btw

    Originally it was a 26" frame. The dropouts were cut down to shorten the chain stays and to lift up the bottom bracket. On the fourth image you can see that the dropout is lower than the chain stay. Now the geo is 1055/360/+55.
