Re: Where can I get Cranked valve inner tubes for a Mk1 Mini ?

Hi

Thanks for the replies. The problem I have is I want to fit a 4.00x10 scooter tyre to the Mini (Dunlop) 10" rim - I've had the tyre fitted and inflated and so far (4 days) it hasn't lost any pressure. The tyre (a Continental Zippy3) requires an innertube with an angled valve - and I can't find one!! I daren't use the tyre on the road without inner tubes.

All of this is actually for my Messerschmitt 'bubble car' replica made by Tri-Tech in Preston Lancashire. My Schmitt is fitted with Tiger front wings (the Tiger was the four wheeled version of the Schmitt) that had 10" wheels. The Mk1 Mini rims are almost identical to the TG wheels. This is why I'm trying to find tubes that will fit the rim.

Sorry I didn't give more info in my original post - this is all rather new to me.

Thanks for your time (& patience).

Denovos didn't come in 10 inch. IIRC, a number of years back, Dunlop were paying a "bounty" on Denovo wheels to get them off the market .

A strange request this. However, the requirement for a type of valve is dictated by the wheel not the tyre. Do you want the angled tube just for looks or because you need it? I have never needed angled valves in Mini wheels. If you really need (want) angled valves, try trailer inner tubes. Some of those have angled valves and many use 10" wheels. I don't remember noticing if the two are ever combined though.
