Kenda Tuff-Tube question

I got some new Kenda Tuff-Tubes for the dirty. The tube has 2 lock nuts on the valve stem and a washer (curved to the tube). Question, is one lock nut supposed to stay on the inside of the tire next to the tube with the washer and one lock nut outside the rim or are both lock nuts to go outside the rim?

You will want the curved washer inside the rim, and both lock nuts outside the rim.

I have a variety of responses on forums, but I'm trying to see what Kenda intended.

However, per these shops they are consistently stating the same; washer and nut against tube, one washer outside of rim.

I liked to just get the tube in the tire without puncturing it. DOH !!!

I bought this as I was tired of using a 5 gallon bucket or an old car tire. http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Product/table-top-tire-changing-stand/124-1037.aspx

I run one nut under the rim and one on top against the cap (NOT THE RIM) or no nut on top of the rim. I leave the nut against the cap just to keep it there to help with tire change. Not to hold the stem at any other time. That way the tube can slip a bit without ripping out the stem.

I do this also.

Me also.. And to help prevent water entering via valve stem and rim lock holes.


I use the below items made by DRC Products.. Distributed in Canada by KIMPEX..

LOL, The rim lock spacer/nut is upside down ! I use the valve stem seal. Honda XRs came with these stock.
