I have two new Aero Classic leak guard tubes. When I installed the first one, I noticed that the valve stem cocked over in the wheel when I inflated the tire. Comparing one of these tubes to a discarded tube, these tubes have a different shape of valve stem than all of the other tubes I've purchased in the last 11+ years, and this causes a geometry problem. A brief search of this site shows others have experienced the same problem.
This means I have to remove the wheel pants every time I add air while these tubes are installed - the valves don't line up with the holes in my wheelpants.. I am displeased (ahem) by this.
Has anyone found a way to use these (expensive) tubes without having to pull the wheelpants every time you want to check pressure or add air?
I plan to have a chat with Desser about this on Monday, but in the meantime, I'm looking for a solution.
