Any fellow Leonhardiritt Wheel owners replace the rubber gasket at the base your air valve stem tubes. Any advice info on how to get them from anyone that may have done this before

 

i own a set but never replace the rubber gasket on the base of the air valve why would you have to do that ? Atleast i dont have to for now i even get my tires flipped every 3 months. my bad please educate me lol.

 

The rubber in that area looks cracked - rubber has a life span and is not infinite I want to avoid losing any air pressure on my wheels so I wanted to replace at my next flip.

 

should that rubber piece be part of the valve stem?

 

i never had this type of issue and i flip every 3 months. im about to flip this tuesday i will check for ware. i honestly havent seen any ware on it.

 

that seal comes as part of a new metal valve stem.

 

^ What he said. Most tires shops should have metal valve stems on hand to replace them.

 

Sorry Guys the rubber on these particular werent what the shops readily carry or had on hand - These wheels have a very long valve stem that is why I am looking for fellow Leonhardiritt owners to chime in?

 

even if the stem is long there are usually only 2 sizes of seals. I've rarely seen a third, but you should still be able to find it.

 

I have had this happen to me. The place that mounted your wheels prolly used cheap valve stems and the rubber dry rotted I added air and the stem started to leak right up against the rim. Get them replaced with some good valve stems and you ll be fine

 

Can anybody with Leon's help out with this question. I dont want to replace the entire valves at this time.

 

It's not just "leon's owners" dude. There's only like 2 kinds of valvestems, so you can pretty much ask "wheel owners". Just replace the whole valvestem, it's like $5. The rubber gasket on the bottom of one of my iForged wheels had this problem and I had to replace it last month. Most tire shops will have them.
