anything special to look for when replacing the ADV schrader valve?
(pin travel/ material for body/ etc.)
I re-piped some stuff, testing for leaks and the schrader was leaking by. I procured 2 different ones from my local tire shop, but neither appears to be the same as the one I removed.
I am in the midst of googling for info; any and all help would be appreciated!
thanx

Excuse me if I am referencing the obvious, but did you give your valve a good cleaning before considering replacing it? I mean, soaking it in vinegar for a while/and or ultrasonic cleaning? I was thinking calamitous replacement thoughts when my Schrader started leaking right before a dive last year. Charlie suggested cleaning it, and I was embarrassed that vinegar actually did the trick in just a few seconds.
