Presta Valve 1, Soma Kog 0
Thought I'd share this.
Went riding the other day with some folks who keep their spare tube wedged under the seat rails, so I thought I'd do the same. Got to a long downhill and I feel something funny happen to the drive train. Funny like an uncle, not funny like a clown.
Long story short, my tube fell out and into the chain, which caused me to lose 4 teeth. the tube was absolutly shredded, but the valve was in almost perfect shape.
weird that it's so much stronger than the actual cog.

At least you didn't fall and loose 4 real teeth. That would cost many times more than a new tube and cog. Or at least that's what I infer from your post.
edit: if you try this in the future, use a removable zip tie, please.
Ja ne!

I second this theory.
