Did my first DIY tubeless valve....

[Pearl]

So I cut an old removable core road tube up, jammed it in the valve hole and tightened down the nut. Aired up just fine.

How long do you think it will last?

Why do I sense an hidden agenda behind this poll?

 

[Zaskar]

Did you add sealant? If not I'll choose overnight

 

[Pearl]

Yes i added sealant thanks for clarifying

 

[THATmanMANNY]

No issues. You did good homie. I even do valves with no cores!

 

[RobW]

You’re fine. Budget friendly and works just fine

I used to be cheap but now love those american classic valves.

It will last forever if you ride it around at least once to spread the sealant reel gud.

It will lose air over night if you don't.

Singlespeed is slower and more fun.

Will lose air overnight, you didn't say how much air...

[stb222]

It lost air, he is taking up the new sport of speed walking

It should last at least 1 CX race or much longer.
I didn't see this thread last year, but using an old tube with removable core road tube up is the hallmark of Ghetto tubeless, especially when paired with Gorilla tape and non-tubeless ready wheels. I typically kept a good 1 inch of tube around the valve stem. Worked for me for a couple of years on my stock Specialized wheels with non-tubeless-ready Ignitors.

Could be quicker than ordering it.
