[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1417181, member: 69719"] Maybe this should go in pit bike/minis or maybe vintage, so I chose neither and put it here !! Have 1974 Honda XL70 I rebuilt for my son. It has chrome 14" rear rim. No rim locks on this bike. For some reason, I cannot keep a tube in it. Tire/tube shift and I get valvestem leak. Thought about drilling a few small holes in rim and putting in small screws like we used to do with drag cars, but I really don't want to ruin this rim. Tried really tightening the valvestem nut. No good. Tried loose valvestem nut. No good. Anyone ever faced this problem and have any suggestions?? (And I've decided that the smaller the wheel, the more I hate changing tires!!). Thanks [/QUOTE]
