I had a valve stem go bad on the mini. Holy **** was it a bitch to fit a new one in there!! Good thing they come in packs of 2 because I broke the first one.

I never changed one, I don't know what I'd do if I had to - 4 valves in a 70mm bore? Maybe you're better off with the A-series after all.

Well don't tell me it's not likely to happen on one of those boat anchors! And it's tyre!

I almost had to resort to KY to get it in the hole. I was looking at a piece of rubber that had to fit into a hole that was a third of its size. It was like virgin butthole.
