What’s caused my tyre valve to blow out?!

MCN, 18 May 2011 14:40

Last week I had what I think was a fairly lucky escape. I was checking the tyre pressures on my 2001 Honda CBR1100XX, but when I put the tyre gauge on the valve stem the stem itself (thread included) blew through the rubber mounting in the wheel rim which stayed in place.
