Hey Rudi! Are you riding that museum piece PC or are you a full time Guzzi guy
now?

stem. I had my wheels powder coated (this bike also) so I did not want to grind
the tab off. I had to point the stems to the left. This makes it near
impossible to air up your tires on the side stand. A minor inconvenience of
airing up from the left on the center stand. Or you can grind off the tab.

The smaller ones fit the European bikes.

stems that were the rigid type, where the wheel part is threaded, goes through
the rim, with a nut on the inside, gaskets on both sides. I have these on two
autos with aluminum wheels and like them, cause they never wear, until the
gaskets actually rot I guess and that is gradual, so you dont have sudden
deflation like on the stock type with the rubber elbow. Ask me how I know.
Anyone ever use these? Im getting ready to order new tires, partly because I
have another stem cracking, so the wheel needs broken down anyway.
