Had my NBD today
The first small change I made was to fit the black Contis.
I noticed that, unlike my old bikes, there is no screw nut on the tube valve.
Is this normal for the Aeroad or were they forgotten during production?

If it’s like my SLX 8 AXS, they are TPU tubes, which have plastic valve stems, and may not get along with those nuts.
Looks slick! And on such deep wheels the nut is only required for tubeless conversions. The nut is there to prevent the valve from moving for the tunes. If you use one make sure to use some protection for the rim!
