Sorry, but I wouldn't take much stock in their opinion of what constitutes "quality or wisdom of content", especially when they found an answer which provided the data that they should have taken the time to look at the rim, first, instead of posing a problem that actually wasn't there. I wouldn't equate that with anything that related to wisdom, or quality, I'd equate it to laziness.

I used to know this co-worker that created problems, complained loudly to everyone who would listen what a horrible problem it was, and then magically became the one to solve them, therefore becoming the hero who could solve problems. I'd imagine that fietsbob's comment "could" be a method of pointing at "wisdom of content", in theoretically-posed problems such as this. My co-worker never saw the light either, he got fired.

However, I'm glad you got your problem worked out, the one with the rim. Sometimes odd discussions create determination....

Gosh .... they're all out today aren't they

I'm an inexperienced person sitting there looking at a rim that has a slightly raised lump around the valve and have absolutely no idea if this is normal, if it is an insert, if it's something that's there to protect a Presta valve and if I try and remove it if I'm going to damage an expensive wheel beyond repair .... hence why I asked in a forum before trying to .... maybe that's a little bit too much for you to comprehend though
