[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 90907, member: 485"] Thanks George, I am a bit worried about 2, When I fit a tyre, I just put the nut on a few threads, I won't call it the outer nut, Or you will tell me off !!, Because I find when starting to fit the tyre from the other side, The valve will try to pop back into the tyre, So if we have tightened it right up, There will be one hell of a strain pulling on the valve ?. If you had seen the way a valve flew out of a wheel, When I was taking my tyre off the other day, It had been on for many years, No trouble, You would want to fit a nut inside ?. On the vintage Forum, A bloke said, " There was always a nut on the inside, Tight up on the valve, Push bikes and motor bikes ", I have just fitted a tube to a mountain bike with the rubber going all the way to valve cap, ie , No thread. I love to do things right, But these things drive me Mad !. I guess we will have to do what we think is best. All The Best, Bill. [/QUOTE]
