I'm interested in anyone's experience of using cheap valve cores from the likes of FleaBay, compared to buying the "name brand"items.
A 10-pack from China is about $5 including shipping. This is compared to $14 from Chain Reaction, or $20 -$40 (depending on brand) from local suppliers, then add on shipping if not bundled with another purchase.
If cheaper cores are OK, it might be better to replace by using these, rather than faff around trying to clean cores once the sealant starts gunking them up.
