Hi,
I'm in the process of hanging my tire and tube, i got everything off already and now i need to put the new stuff in but i have a question about the tube:
when i opened the package with the tube, there were one washer and 2 nuts on the valve stem.
do the washer and bolts go on the outside of the rim? do the washer and 1 bolt stay in side and the other one will be outside?

i need some help please.

ps: it is a bridgestone HD tube

I put one on the inside but I dont even use the 2nd one i just put the rubber thing back on the out side and the cap. If you leave it without one on the outside it cant pull on the stem in the tube shifts after time. Someone will always say one or the other. I would test both ways and see what makes it longer on your bike. I think different rims might make a difference.
