Brillant Idea - Emergency Tire Fix

[Cummins Dog]

Hopefully this doesn't violate any of the site rules to post this here. (If so no problem with the mod taking it down). I have nothing to do with this and no connection to it, just thought it was a brilliant idea especially for our 4x4 owners here.

This is an emergency valve stem that can be installed without taking the tire off and, if you've ever broken a valve stem, especially out in the middle of nowhere, I think you can see the value in this. Their video focuses on ATV but they say you can use this on anything from ATV to truck tires.

They're still raising money to get this into production and if you're interested you can assist here...

...apparently you'll get some of the first production run if you do. Supposed to be in production by December 2016.

Just putting it out there because I think it just might save someone here a lot of trouble some day.

I bet the Colby Valve would get backing on Shark Tank

Very cool idea. I like the solid shaft design. I have broken one valve stem in my lifetime on my truck. no clue how it happened going down the street but it did. this would have come in handy instead of changing the tire.
