Hi all,
I've been getting a bunch of flats on my commuter bike, and I believe the reason is the rim is drilled for schrader valves, but the tubes I use are all presta valve. I believe the "sharp edge: of the valve hole tends to "cut" into the tube at high pressures around the valve stem.
How do I solve this?
I have a bunch of those little "valve stem nuts" laying around that come with a lot of tubes, that I could apply to the valve stem on the inside of the rim? Would that prevent the rubber from getting "cut" if I put a nut on the bottom of the valve stem BEFORE putting it into the tire? Or would that lead to more problems?
Or should I use something like this:
