    Default FOBO on an F3L

    I have Fobo's on my RT and love them. On my new 2017 F3L there doesn't look like there is enough room on the fronts to put Fobo's without extending the valve stem. Can Fobo's be used with the stock valve stem? Thanks Wayne

    You will have to use an extension. No other option.

    It depends on the wheel. Some, the FOBOs fit on stock stems, some they do not. The stock stems are very short.

    On the Blade wheels, its the short stems that work well, longer ones push the FOBO into the brake caliper.

    Yeah, I put them on my stock 16 F3-L stems with no problems either, Spanky. but Wayne’s 17 model wheels have more spokes than mine, so I wasn’t sure if they would fit on his....

    Default FOBO on F3L

    I put them on my 17 F3L but had to use extenders. Bought the shortest possible ones I could find. I think they are 3/4 in long.

    Thanks everyone. I can barely get my fingers on the cap to get it off so I'm going to look for some extensions. Thanks again, Wayne

    I bought the FOBO's and couldn't get them on my 2016 F3L - and didn't want to mess with extensions so I sold them.
