Default 18" rear wheel
OK so I'm a jackass and bought a DNA wheel for my nightrain. I installed it in the spring and it sat in my shop for while before i rode it. Once nice weather came around I started riding more. The wheel started losing air, only once or twice. Now that sh**y weather is here and its parked, I'm losing air daily.

So my question is - Where can I get a tube for an 18" 200 tire? Will the valve meet up on the rim?
I hear that some people have had to use a step bit to get the valve to fit?
