Anyone know where I can get one? Went to put some air in today and mine is damaged.
Cheers

Out of a Schrader valve tube?

You need a little tool to unscrew your valve core and stick in one from any schrader valve.

Not working!
Is there just a replacement I can get?

It looks like the valve threads were rounded, couldn't get the shock pump on or off

If it the thread of the actual valve rather than the core then you'll need a new top cap. Give 18 Bikes a bell and I'm sure they'll sort you out. They've got various X-Fusion spares in stock and can get the ones they've not got.

That isn't the core. If the outer threads are knackered, you will most likely need a new top cap.

How you go about getting one is tricky, as very few parts like that are available direct to consumer in the UK from Upgrade, the distributor.

EDIT: Can 18Bikes get damper seal kits? That would be useful...

Unfortunately we can't get damper seal kits despite our best efforts! Lots of other bits are available though, best to drop us an email, info@18bikes.co.uk, or give us a call - 01433 621111

Thanks! Hopefully you can sort the OP out. Why are Xfusion so precious about basic stuff like seal kits?
