Replacement Tyre Valve

Hey guys,
Here's a good 'un, I snapped off the rear tyre valve. I wasn't thinking and had my mind on other things when all of a sudden too much right hand and the ****ed thing snapped off. There was an amusing delay before the tyre deflated.

Can anyone post me a link to a replacement part UK? It's for a 98 sprint exec!

I haven't spoken to the jap dealer because he normally says something like, I need a special tool or nah my parts won't fit your Triumph. In this case he's more likely to say I don't know if we can do that for you! He's ok for MOT's and Tyre changes though!
My nearest Triumph Dealer is 15miles away and wants me to drop off the wheel for a few days, it's a 30minute job if that, and my bike is my only method of transport, you can see my problem right.

lol

If they can do a tire change they should be able to do the valve. It's a generic part, not specific to your model or Triumph in general.

Cheers, HTH,

It's not a standard car size, you will need a 8.3mm fitting. Google for 'Ariete' I fitted these at the last tyre change http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?catRef=544423
