Blockley question

Post by Will » Sat Mar 07, 2026 8:39 am

This morning while checking the tire pressure I found a screw in my Blockley front tire. I guess it didn't make to the tube as the still had good air pressure and who knows how long its been in there. It renewed my faith in the Blockley tires and tubes. I bought these tires a couple years ago before all the issues with shipping. I'm going to order some more tubes and tires and would like a heads up the new steps I need to take to get everything.
As Tom Sellick told Marston in the movie Quigley Down Under, I told you I dont have much use for handguns, I never said I didn't know how to use them!

From my experience: If UPS sends you any emails about forms for the tariff. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING TO UPS TILL YOU TALK TO BLOCKLEY. I screwed up and ask UPS a question and it messed up my delivery. Talk to Blockley first. Dan

I wish Blockley would make tubes with rubber valve stems, so we could cut them off and install the correct ones.

Larry - most of us are quite content to have blockley tubes complete with their high-quality, factory mounted brass valve stems. When you put a cap on it you can't see the valve stem anyway.
