[QUOTE="vince998, post: 30236, member: 261"] I fitted a new Avon to the front last year and sourced a new inner tube from my local dealer. The tube came from Metzeler and also had two nuts on the valve stem. This is the first time i have seen this. The lower nut was slightly tapered on one side. On inquiring at the dealer, he wasn´t sure so i talked to Andreas Wegner about it and he knew a guy that worked at Metzeler. He informed us that the lower nut is indeed intended to fit inside the rim? Anyone else fitted them like this? I can´t really work out the benefit of the inside nut except maybe the area around the stem is no longer reinforced as in earlier designs. I also lose about 2 psi a week on the front. The rear holds it´s pressure OK. Maybe something to do with tyre design? [/QUOTE]
