Just got a set of ITP T-9 Baja wheels, 4-1 offset. They came with valve stems that stuck all the way out one of the holes in the reinforcing ring. Too many rocks out here for that. I put short ones on, but what a pain in the *** to get to it! I've seen some pics of bikes with 4-1's, and they seem to have the same style stem as what I put on. Can't seem to find a small 90 degree stem.(which would solve the problem) What are you guys using?

Stick a screwdriver behind it and push it out so you can get to it better....;)

Yup, thats what I've been doing, I was just looking for an easier method. With the T-9's, it's really a pain in the butt.
Hey Squeak, That valve stem is along the lines of what I was thinking, I'm just not sure if that one won't mount too close to the rim. It looks like it would put the end of the valve stem WAY close.
