Default Re: Mine is bigger than yours!

A standard tubeless valve goes in a hole 11.5mm diameter, (cars and bikes of my knowledge anyway, othe stuff may be different). A typical valve is a 'TR412' 20mm length. Other lengths are available depending on application, but generally on a bike wheel, particularly the front 'cos of the discs, the shorter the better.

An example of a '412': "http://www.tyrebaydirect.com/7-Standard_Snap_in_Valves/124-TR412_22mm_length_x_100.html"
