' iFew owners , realize that a rim with its tire can creep around the wheel if the shoulders on the wheel which hold the demountable rim are the least bit worn. This oc curred recently and. was noticed only because the valve stem came thru the wheel hole at an acute angle. ! This was caused by the rim and tire , creeping , around, thus tending to pull the valve stem out of its place. If tho valve stem is held firmly by means of a cap, then the strain falls on the lower -portion of the stem and the portion of the inner tube sur rounding it. In the instance in ques tion the pull was so great that the valve stem was cut almost in two. i Also in tightening the rim-lugs beJ sure that you tighten in the correct j order. .
