I use Michelin S83 tyres with tubes on my Li. The time's coming up to replace them.
Does anyone know if you can get tubes with short valve stems? The ones I've used so far can foul the nuts at the bottom of the forks if I'm not careful, so shorter valve stems would be great.

Sounds like you are using the 90 degree angle valve on the front. This will foul the nut on the link bolt. You need to get a 45 degree valve tube, you can get them from AFRayspeed (the 90 degree valve is used on the back wheel).

I use mypol tubes. They fit in every way without drama.
Thanks guys. Looks like what I need.+1 i use because the valves are off centre to suit Lambretta Rims
And then the back wheel becomes the front wheel becomes the spare wheel becomes the back wheel.You need to get a 45 degree valve tube, you can get them from AFRayspeed (the 90 degree valve is used on the back wheel).
