Hello,
Wich valve can i use on my new ScootRS tubeless Rim?
Lenght?
Angle?
-- to be sure that the valve don't touch the fork arm on the front wheel --
All rubber? Chrome based?
-- to have a safe issue ---
PS : this topic is open to have tech info about a valve... not to open a new discussion about ScootRS tubeless rim ..

Have you already got your rims as MB stock them and fit new bolt in valves as well as fit the tyres

Yes , i've already my tubeless direct from ScootRS
It seem's that the valve must have a size of 11,3mm
It's difficult to find technical specifications about the valve. Most of suppliers sell valve without any information (brand, EU or not product, lenght, angle).
I let fit the tyre by a bike shop but i'll know if i must ask a special valve (lenght, angle) and it's better to ask a rubber or a chrome valve. If not i'm not sure that the valve usually used by the shop 'll fit without any problem (clearance between valve and fork arm) on the tubeless lambretta rim
I can't bring the scooter to the bike shop, so i need to have technical specification

Personally I would seek the guidance of the manufacturer- make sure they put something in writing.
They've sold/ supplied the rim, so they are the ones to offer you advice.
Good Luck

Call me paranoid................but in todays "litigation based culture" and in view of the previous issues raised with tubeless rims, personally I would not be inclined to offer any "recommendation" with regard to which valves to use.
If the rim manufaturer wishes to do so then so be it...........

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

Forget my earlier recommendation, they're much cheaper from Deemon Tweeks.
