'I use a wheelbarrow inter-tube on my standard 10" tire on my 24. Purchased at a local tire store. The stem alignment leaves something to be desired. This could be my installing it! Tried several times to get to line up, but stem rests against one side of the wheel which makes checking pressure and inflating a bit of a challenge. Also, the stem is a bit too long to allow for installing the small section of the dust cover over it.Roger StarrNC77630

The 90 degree metal stem won't work. You have to use the straight rubber stem and live with pushing it over and putting the cover plate over it.
I just replaced mine a month or so back and it seemed a little shorter than the previous tube stem and fit better. On the previous one and on my other PT it would bow the cover plate out.
I recommend having a spare tube handy.
The reason for my last replacement was a failed valve stem. Admittedly well over 10 years old, but I suspect the extra stress of pushing it over can't be good for it.
FYI, Desser took my return of the 90 degree metal stem tube without any issues. A friend ordered it for me when he was ordering one for his Stearman, which uses the 90 degree. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Folks,
I have a a Variety Aircraft VGC 10 tail wheel hub (thanks to Steve Lawlor) and before I part with 'large bucks' was wanting to check specifically which tube I should use with this tire.
10.00 SC 8 PLY AERO CLASSIC CHANNEL TREAD AIRCRAFT TIRE (as stocked by Desser)
Was planning on the 'Channel tread' to try and reduce the tendency to shimmy and I'm not keen on the hub adapters as I am trying to stay close to original.
I am unsure about the 90* valve as it seems too long and does not fit well. Also, as Desser say- "Do not use if you have a fork. The alternate tube, 10.00 STRAIGHT RUBBER VALVE works in all applications". - but the Variety hub is not, by the look of it, suited to a straight valve - "Catch 22"!
Any/all comments/experiences on which combination of tire and tube work best, polite or otherwise, will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance
