Occasionally my bike's tube valve nuts *get stuck* on my *Velocity Synergy and Twin Holla' rims* and cannot be removed by hand. Don't know why this happens, but they cannot be turned without pliers/wrench to get them off. Once the initial turn is made, they spin free on the stem - no problem, Somehow they are getting stuck onto the rim surface. Once they had green patina under them. Today it didn't.
This has never happened to me on non-Velocity rims. I'd* hate to get caught out on the road with a flat and get stuck walking home* because the valve nut is stuck onto the rim and cannot be turned by hand. I do have a pliers on my leatherman that I keep in my repair kit, so I guess that would work. Thought I'd alert y'all here in case you didn't. So if you haven't had a flat in a while, check your stem nuts today. *Give them a whirl and free them up.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
