Get the small 1/2" straight stems, with the rims you have, you'll have room to blow hot air .... in your scooter tire that is.

They are fairly standard. Just to be safe get one from a motorcycle shop it will be the right size. Are you doing the tire yourself? I know you could but be prepared for a little frustration... Pulling the wheels yourself and letting someone else bust the tire open is worth it in my opinion. Are you just replacing the stem?

thanks all

i got new tires and stems about 4400 miles ago
and the tires are getting bald, and i wanna get new,
but im going on 'vacation' soon so all my cash is going into
the kids. keep the place, food, a cleaning lady, litter ,
everything., while im gone.
the other day i went for a ride, and the left side of the tire
(rear wheel), just POOPED off the tire. whole way around
checked it can find no holes, actually the stem looks good,
, but since its there, its the possible cause of air leaking, just replace it.
but my friend who owns a garage down the street was gonna let me put inside overnight to warm the rubber up and b more pliable .
& hoping i can just fill it up and hope the bead forms as its getting filled.
with nice warm rubber, instead of the low teens and low single ddigits for the last 10 days


wow that was alot of typing
