Thanks, Dale. Makes a lot of sense. So the same force wants to bend the
rubber stem over, no? Why do you want flexibility at LSR speeds?
From: Dale Krumheuer <dmirror3@yahoo.com>
The faster the wheel spins, centrifugal force increases. The centrifugal
load on the center pin of a Schraeder valve can cause the valve to
partially open. Having a quality metal cap with a gasket will reduce (not
stop) air escape through the valve stem.
