haha just wanted to post this nifty little threaded shrader valve i made out of a 1/4 barbed fitting and a tubeless tire valve, i just got the tubeless and shaved off all the rubber then i got the 1/4 barbed fitting and used a hack saw and cut off the barbed part then epoxied in the tubeless :D what do you guys think? :lol: saved two dollers making it then buying it :P

yeah, i got the older version of that, it's pretty good, but right after the warranty expired, something went wrong and the lens stayed out with the shutter open and we had to pay $150 to get it repaired
