Anyone remove one of these while tire is still on the bike or does the tire have to be removed from the rim?
Apparently when the sealed my C/T to the rim . . . what ever silicone they used to make that seal has now clogged up my tire valve and even with the stem out you can't get any air in or out. :shock:
:x
Thoughts?

The valve is held underneath by a small screw or nut, I can't remember which, so the tire must either be deflated and you have skinny little hands and press the sidewall in enough to reach the screw and unscrew it, then remove it, (which I don't think is possible), or you have to remove the tire to remove the valve. Suggestion, can you remove the core and maybe run a piece of thin wire through the clog? Why the hell did they seal your tire with silicone?
