King make an inner tube with quite a short stem. Ive got them fitted to mine and clears the front bolt on the forks with the dust cap on. i always used to run Michelin air stop without the dust cap on but now changed to king when i changed tires so far so good
i think MB sell them.

Mypol are designed to fit a Lambretta wheel with the off centre valve exit hole, all others are putting stress on the valve by pulling it off centre. Available fron Corrado (justlambretta.com)

Will vouch for these... I got mine off AF, they fit a Lambretta rim better than anything else that Ive used....soulsurfer wrote:Mypol are designed to fit a Lambretta wheel with the off centre valve exit hole, all others are putting stress on the valve by pulling it off centre.

I'll go with that.J1MS wrote: Will vouch for these... they fit a Lambretta rim better than anything else that Ive used....
just been changing the tube on an Indian GP, the one the owner bought was going to pull the valve right across, I don't want it to blow as he rides off tomorrow.
So fitted a Mypol one I had in the cupboard. nice job.
[although one Mypol one i had did have a dodgy valve, so could be worth checking before you go to do the job]

Thats true Valves can be loose from new... I buy new, better quality ones from Halfords and replace them with a valve tool also from Halfords... But they are good tubes...byron wrote:I'll go with that.J1MS wrote: Will vouch for these... they fit a Lambretta rim better than anything else that Ive used....
