yessssss
lesson learned. cheers.
what i was told today specifically (by dude at lbs selling me a new tube

) was that all double-wall rims need 'em. anyone wanna school me on why?
and hijack: he also told me that word is that miche lockring threads tend to strip, which i hadn't heard, and that makes me unhappy, as my hub is brand new and not flip flop.
