Had to get a new tire and tube. The tubes sent from Vans have straight valve stems which are hard to get air in. Built 2nd RV10 with Matco Wheels and Brakes. They have tubes with 90-degree stems which are hard to get air in (I put 2.5 inch access plates in the wheel pant when built for airing the tires). Went on line to look for a workable tube for both the Grove (Vans wheels) and Matco wheels. Aircraft Spruce has tubes from $29.35 for Aero Classic to $75.95 for Good Year. Both are 90-degree stem bent tubes. Wicks has Carlisle tubes for $33.06 with a 45-degree (TR 87) Part # 320290 bent stems (This works well). However the same Carlisle 15x6x6 TR 87 Lawn, Garden & Trailer tubes at the local farm supply store is $9. 69. I change all my main gear tubes. Easy to air now. Thought you could use this tip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
