How do you get the tubeless valve out of the rim without damaging it?
First season using tubeless, and I had a problem out on the Kingdom trails riding with my wife. I rolled the tire and the bead broke, so put quite a bit of pressure in the tire to reseat, and discovered a pin hole in the center of the tread.
I wanted to put a tube in so I could finish the ride, but the valve just spins around trying to get it out of the rim.
Anyone know any tricks to this? Is it the same way on all UST rims. Luckily I was able to patch the hole (from the outside, no CO2 left after this) to get out of the woods, but had to play it safe and ride the road out, which kinda left a damper on a would be great ride.
