[QUOTE="canucklehead, post: 139600, member: 17986"] I've had this happen three times now to me, and buying a new tube each time (an installing it!) is really starting to tick me off. My front tube has a tendancy to get the valve stem ripped almost right out once in a while. It just puts a big hole/tear right around the stem and its not possible to fix, or so the tire guy tells me. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that there is no rim-lock on the front tire. Running low pressure amplifies this problem I think, as it's much easier for the tire and tube to slide around while braking. So my question is this... Has anyone ever rigged up a rim-lock on the front tire of their KDX? I'm temped to give it a whirl. I've heard that not attaching the nut to the valve stem can prevent it from ripping out, it will just pull inside the rim (still a PITA, but don't need new tube!). So, any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated! Dave [/QUOTE]
