Anybody know the thread size do sip valves? I have snapped one in the rim and it needs re tapping. I've used a thread gauge on it and it's a m8 x 0.8 which is a unusual size has anybody had to do this before?

If you are talking about the alloy tubeless rims it will be a weird size.

look for a Schrader valve tap. I have one and had to have it special ordered ($75 if I remember right). All so I could clean out some threads from powdercoating
