Woods Valves

In article said:

Quick question for all the bike shop guys out there: How often does a bike with woods valves come
into your shop? We must get one a week in our shop in an affluent suburb of Detroit. Mostly from
Japanese families living here temporarily.

We get 2 or 3 per month here in the DC Metro Area....lots of foreign tourists bring their bikes
along when visiting the Captiol.

Regards,
Bill

Back when I was working in a shop (1979-1984, Los Angeles area), we saw them about 3 times a year.
Come to think of it, they were on mostly independantly-imported Japanese bikes.

In Hayward, CA, the shop owner keeps on on the shelf to show people who ask about them. I've never
seen one otherwise in some 20 years though I know what they are.
