The reason for this is that the threaded section of valve stems tend to be either brass or stainless, neither of which are very compatible with aluminium.
Use of an anti seizing compound is highly recommended

Isn't that to stop them getting stolen?

I've fitted some hp shiney steel truck ones to all our cars with no bother.


I managed to acquire some truck ones after a truck had new tyres in the yard and the fitter forgot the bag of caps, used them on the ZR, 2 rusted on, 2 got stolen.

So do I. :yesnod: Front battery power, rear David power.

However with the battery switched off it reverts to standard. ie rear wheel drive.

This turbo trainer is to cover bad weather preventing any cycling.

I dunno, I'd say that any weather that would prevent cycling would have to be pretty good in my book! :bust:
