Enamel for alloy wheel?

What, you mean the size difference between the unused valve compared to one that’s been squeezed tightly in a hole for 15 years? You're surprised at that size difference? Just think about it for a page or two…….
Yes, think over this for 10 pages: Fully fitted price includes VAT, delivery, fitting, balancing, new rubber valve & disposal of old tyres
 
Page 7. Well done. Getting there.
It wasn't even my old stem. I have never once seen a stem this short my entire life. The thing about leaks is that you deal with the stem on a frequent basis. You would know what isn't yours.

The funniest thing is that idiot google AI said the OE is even shorter, which is totally untrue from my experience. This is why you should be careful when basing your sources from google.
 
There's nothing to do but to wait now. I will wait to see how much inconvenience the remaining leaks are causing before taking further action. I have other projects to attend to in any case. I think topping up air once a month is bordering on tolerability. But, I want significantly better conditions than that. My personal ideal will be topping up once a year. I know this might be possible because my rears need a tiny bit of topping up every couple of years if I can remember to do it. The fronts are subject to a lot more forces. So I wouldn't expect them to do as well.

In the mean time, I am puzzled. This is the first forum where I get threatened with page numbers. I am completely unaware of the danger of page numbers. Hence, the threats haven't the intended effect. So, what exactly does 10 pages mean? Does the thread get closed according some forum rules? If a single 10 page thread is not enough to finish a DIY, what's stopping me doing multiple 10 pages threads? I imagine the participants of the the closed thread won't get notification of new posts any more. But, this won't matter to me because I do threads for the internet and not really for the participants. This doesn't mean the participants are any less valuable because they are always welcomed to my threads. Being welcoming doesn't mean I am desperate for them. As I said the focus of my direction is pointing to somewhere out there.
 
"I am completely unaware of the danger of page numbers."

Death due to boredom.
Ok, so it's a health and safety issue. Yes, I can see that being a big thing. Insurance could be invalidated by that, and lack of a non-invalidated insurance is illegal. Who TF needs traditional industries when you can operate an insurance business. You could literally defeat the russians by threatening them with invalidation.
 
What do you think will happen, or are you too terrified to commit to a view?

It won't work. That's what will happen. A wheel and tyre assembly is a 3-D object. A "cylinder", rather than a "disc". Tyre balancers such as you're showing there, will only work for a thin disc. Naturally, I don't expect you to believe me, but that's of little consequence to me. Put a 25 gramme weight on the outside of an already balanced wheel at 12 o'clock and a 25 gramme weight on the inside of the rim at 6 o'clock and take it for a run on the motorway. It'll feel awful, but a point balancer like that, will tell you it's perfectly balanced.

However, you don't seem to do many miles, you seem pretty unaware of your surroundings at the best of times, and if most of what you do is urban runs at low speed, you probably won't notice...

Why would you put weights on inside and outside when you can just put them in the middle? Sounds like you just want to manufacture problems. I have used small shops with no sophisticated equipment. Their balancing had been fine. If there were issues, I would have noticed. As you know I am at one with things I deal with. I have no idea exactly what the small shops used because I never took interest until these threads. But, I am fairly sure it's roughly equivalent to a DIY balancer.
 
I changed my mind. I would put weights only on the inside because the wheel is always unbalanced and fall on its face because more weight on that side.
