HRC would only supply something that would further mess up the handling of the RCV this year

My tip dani, one my father always tells me. If it aint turning enough for you, just push on the inside handlebar, you'll make it round a treat!

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"
