What's wrong with a valve if it lets air out but not in? Would a valve key fix the problem??

Or new valve?
 
here's where I get slapped! if it wont let air in? how did the air that getting out get in? :lol: try pressing down on the center pin and see if it moves? had a tube once fresh out the box with the valve inserted the wrong way round!
 
:lol: It was precharged for me. Their is some tiny bits round the pin. Look like rubber. Been picking them out with a pin.
The pin looks OK
 
maybe get one of those dustcaps with the valve slot in them and have a look?
thats what i use on a bolt
could then take a look to see if its in the right way
although i cant see it being the wrong way, you would see the wrong bit sticking out?
 
That rubber is quite important (OOER). You used to get a little length of the stuff in puncture kits so you could chop a little off and replace the dodgy one in the valve.

Reckon you will need to do that now.

I always wondered what that tube was for :oops: SO replace the valve then??
