Inner tube nut

I believe the correct nut thread size is either a 12 or 16 MM fine thread-Depends on the valve stem size---By the way these valves are known as PRESTA valves the other type is a SCHRADER which is the type most generally used in TUBELESS automotive applications------Right tho on the wheel spinning on the tire can cause mucho problems---Comp 387

Apply Palmolive dish soap to the sidewalls inside, and ditch the tubes.

Guys, thank you for the input. At this point the tubes will stay, later in 2008 I'll be switching
to MT radials and will leave the tubes out at that point.
