Fuchs valve stem holders

Hi,

Anyone know where to locate the stem holder like on the 7x16 Fuchs? I bought my Fuchs with a polished lip and in the process they probably took them off.

Got a bit 'suprised' by the rear drivers side going flat in a right hand turn during a DE at Tremblant ...

Aftermath showed that the valve stem itself was cut where it meets the rim. Probably from the centrifugal forces applied to the valve stem, it was bending at speed.

I didn't spin but the rear got pretty loose! Again, this was i high pucker moment as i'm still in the green group and this was my first session without an instructor.


So i'll be changing the other tire valves with short ones, and I want to install the 'holders' that keep the valves from bending.

Anyone know where to source these?

TIA
