Don't bother with the north ones, if you can get them. They still tend to come off, get the FixmyKite brand multi option valve
http://www.kitepower.com.au/fixmykite-multi-option-valve.html

I've fitted dozens of these to several brands, including 2010 and 2011 norths.

+1 for Fixmykite valves.

Contrary to popular belief and despite being widely stocked in shops around Perth, U-Stick valves do not work, the ahesive is inferior to that used by fixmykite. Wasted over $150 on Ustick valves at circa $30 a pop they just peel off, benefit of hindsight maybe I am just a slow learner..

There are other brands that use the same adhesive as fixmykite valves although cannot recall brands off the top of my head.
