Anyone know if tubeless tyre valves can be replaced without removing the tyre?

Front tire Size:

120/70

Rear tire Size:

160/60

Tubless valves are normally pulled in from the inside to the outside, so no. A decent tyre fitter could remove the tyres, change the valves and repace the tyres but it would be a relatively high cost for what you would get.

Thank's DirtyDT,

I'm trying to avoid the cost you mentioned and I won't need tyres replace for some time.

The advantage was for angled valves, front wheel valve awkward to get at.

Cheer's.

Brilliant Mervin!

Thank you.

Just tried to buy one, seller doesnt post to N.I.

I'll look around elsewhere to get one.

A cryptic question to start with.

Make sure they don't affect the wheel balancing.

Good one.

I will only use to check and inflate.

Ta.

One other thing.

Does anyone think the pressure reading would be affected by going thru tyre valve and adaptor?

Definetly only use em for checking and inflating , slightly over inflate and adjust pressure afterwards as you lose a little air removing the adapter , i do it all the time
