Cosmo, I thought there were only about two "common" sizes, although there
usually are "short" and "long" versions of each. I'll wager you can walk into
any auto parts store and find blister packs full of new tire valves.
Unfortunately, I can't remember offhand which size fits the TR wheels, but
I've never had any trouble obtaining valves.
Not even last summer, when I had a valve go bad in Toledo, Ohio, on my way to
Minnesota in the Herald! :-)
