Hope someone has some advice that will help.
I've got a slime filled inner tube with a car type valve that just won't go down.

Really need to get it off and replace it and the tyre. Anyone have any tech suggestions for popping it. Wish it was presta so I could just unscrew the valve.

Thanks in advance if you can help.



Ooops think I posted this in the wrong place.
Feel free to move as I'm not 100% how to do that.

Cut the valve off with snips, dykes, bolt cutters. And next time dont use the slime stuff, its gonna get everywhere

FYP. I would just drill it. Unless you have a valve remover. If such a thing exists. I say drill.

Get a valve cap with the schrader remover on the end. I found a metal one downstairs and leave it on my shock just incase.

That shraeder valve should unscrew with a core removal tool or possibly VERY small needle nosed pliers??

Cutting will work also. I wish my tubes had the same problem!! lol
