New Angel flat - need advice best air-valve stem installed from OUTSIDE > wheel

[Stig / Major Tom]

And I gave the guy who did this a nice tip!



After a vacation found my new Angel rear tire flat.
No nail - bummer, would have been an easy fix!

Rim not bent.

Tried to add air and found valve stem was torn at the rim. Maybe 1/4 torn, scratches on the black paint from his tool.

The valve came off in my hand.

NOT looking forward to another couple of hours pulling this wheel and driving 50 miles to different (trusted) dealer.
So, I see there are several valve stem systems which can be fitted without removing the tire.

Would like your recommendations for one if you've ever used it!

Thanks, Stig

Stig unfortunately the only valve stems I know of require being pulled in from the underside of the rim otherwise if you could insert it from the top it would probably blow out.  If you could deflate the tire and break the bead on one side you might be able to fish the new stem in without removing the tire or wheel.

@Stig, (pls see pics)
that's the stuff I use, only rubber valves seem too insecure to me.
The guy used most probably normal pliers (traces on the black paint) instead a special valve puller.
My trust in socalled skilled mechanics is very low until not existing.

As suggested-----first have replacement stem on hand---Honda has high quality short rubber ones available, not cheap.   Break bead, big water pump plier works, fish old stuff out, install new stem----as high mileage rider still in shape to check straight stem, I like to stay away from fancy 45 degree stuff, not designed for your bike that might rub on something, etc!    Too bad modern scooters do not have easy to remove rear wheels (except one model BMW) and spare(nobody)
