Replacing a valve stem. A valve stem is a self-contained valve that opens to admit gas to a chamber (such as air to inflate a tire), [1] and is then automatically closed and kept sealed by the pressure in the chamber, or a spring, [2] [3] or both, to prevent the gas from escaping.
The Dunlop valve, (also called a Woods valve, an English valve or a Blitz valve [1]) is a type of pneumatic valve stem in use—mostly on inner tubes of bicycles—in many countries, including Japan, [2] Korea, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, most European countries, and a number of developing countries.
The Presta valve (also French valve (FV) or Sclaverand valve) is a type of tire valve commonly found on high pressure bicycle inner tubes and is commonly used on tubeless setups. It consists of an outer valve stem and an inner valve body. A lock nut to secure the stem at the wheel rim and a valve cap may also be present.
[12] [13] Metallic valve caps can become seized to their valve stems due to galvanic corrosion and efforts to remove these caps can break the stem, destroying the sensor.

The steering gear ratio was changed from 4:1 to 5:1 with the introduction of balloon tires. [52] The old nomenclature for tire size changed from measuring the outer diameter to measuring the rim diameter so 21 in (530 mm) (rim diameter) × 4.5 in (110 mm) (tire width) wheels has about the same outer diameter as 30 in (760 mm) clincher tires.
