OK that sounds betta. thanks all. S'pose main thing is to let the tyre fitters know so they dont throw it.! Maybe i should able to save a bit as most of them charge a bit more for valves.. :happy2:

Sorry for the thread resurrection but I've had my wheels refurb'd to try and cure leaks and it's made them even worse!  :grin: :congrats:

The o-ring as mentioned earlier in this thread has conflicting advice, the elsawin diagram tends to suggest the o-ring [#5 on the diagram, link below]  is fitted on the inside of the wheel but another chap on this thread says that that is wrong and it should go on the outside, as the metal stem [#6] already has a rubber seal bonded to it. [Which sounds like it makes sense]. But I'm beginning to think that the elsawin diagram is actually correct as my wheels have come back with o-ring fitted outside and the pressure loss is much greater. It's counter-intuitive to say the least! So, this is where you chaps/ladies with hollow type BBS Monza 2's come in, could you all have a look and tell me if your orange o-ring [oo-er] is visible between the metal washer and the body of the wheel itself? @RedRobin  I believe you have Monza 2s of the type I'm on about?

When I recently dismantled the valves on mine there wasn't an o ring in the inside of the wheel just the seal that seems to be part of the stem. The outside part that screws onto it had a seal at the bottom of it which again seemed to be part of it so that the wheel is sandwiched between two rubber seals. There definitely wasn't a loose o ring, just the seals that seemed to be part of the assembly. I can't see why there'd need to be an extra o ring.

....I have been riding on OZ Aleggerita alloys for 8 years and don't remember anything about the valves, especially as ATS did and still do all my tyre fitting. Sorry I can't help.

So the o-ring does sit on the inside of the wheel?

Is it possible to replace just the O ring or is it an integral part of the valve ?
I've reused mine even after a wheel refrub but guess they won't last forever.
