From 40 punctures in the past 18 months about 7 or 8 were detached valve stems. I don't use the little nut on the stem so that's not it. I am 106kg though so maybe it is a weight thing. Sadly none of my bikes (except the $20 MTB I ride to uni) will fit anything beyond a 23c so I can't help with the experiment.Big Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615705034848623964noreply@blogger.com
