I just measured mine and it's got 35mm of travel at the tip of the valve stem. Others may have a different reading as I've got the smaller 16" wheel which will alter a few measurements slightly (torque, horsepower and roadspeed, eh, Jonesey? :P :P :-* :-*)

Went to change the rear tyre .........and as a guide to tolerance / wear and tear.... re the driveline .....a comparison would be not only interesting.... but a comfort that all is relative with age/ wear and tear.
Has been a conundrum in my brainspace for many years... I d like to put to rest ;D

Thx............hoping 35mm of freeplay travel is a common measurement.
