These might be worth a look, they are completely flush. So no worries about rubbing on forks etc.

The ad copy says they are made to fit alloy wheel rims.

Damn that small print hahahaha, is there much difference between alloy wheel rim type valves and steel ones then ??? I would have thought that the hole in the rim is the same size for both.

For any of these types of valves to fit and seal correctly, the base needs to mate to a flat surface, so alloy rims have a flat machined/cast in for this, ScootRS rims don't, they're curved, you'll be fitting a square peg into a round hole, although you may get it to seal, it's not ideal.

That's nonsense Soulsurfer - there is a thick rubber seal fitted to all metal valves that takes up any profile differences between valve and rim. You obviously don't run one piece tubeless rims on your bikes

Oohhh no it isn't
Take a closer look at 12 o'clock

Like I said - Nonsense you just don't like ScootRs rims which is fine but please try to base your negative comments on fact as just slagging a product off has no benefits to anyone. eg please explain how all the people with ScootRs tubeless rims with metal valves manage to go year after year without hardly any air loss if the valves don't seal , including the ones in the article written by Scootering's most respected journalist. Personal dislike of a product should remain just that - personal

Oh for Christ's sake, don't tell me not even these work? I know you need to remove some material off the rim to make 'em fit, but... anything else?!?!?
