I'd be in the market for some too. Mine have served me well, however, I'd need to ensure that any I buy in the future can be fitted with bolt in valves as I don't like the reports of failures with the push in 'bulb' type.

I don't really like ordering directly from ScootRS as I end up playing the import tax Russian roulette game, with customs normally charging me as much as the rims cost! Buying from a UK source would suit me better.

I like these valves, they clear the rim and are fairly flush inside, so should make tyres easier to fit, only downside is access to the nut on the outside, I had to grind down a 14mm open spanner to get purchase on the nut.

If Carlsberg fitted tyres to tubeless rims ...

I've not got any scootrs rims btw, by the time I've air freighted them here and bought valves from Germany they're not far off the price of SIP rims. I must admit though that the last batch of scootrs ones that I bought were very nice quality in both Black and Red.

My tyre fitter likes fitting tyres to the SIP ones but hates doing the scootrs ones. It's rare to mark a SIP one fitting tyres and it's very rare to fit a tyre to a scootrs without marking the rim.

I'm surprised ScootRS haven't produced a "SIP" rim yet...
