  1. I just got a 19"x3" trials tube and it came with two nuts to screw it in
    place. The tube dips in at the valve and the one nut appears as if it
    holds the valve in place. Do I install the tube with one nut inside the
    rim and one out, or both outside?

    motorcross tube?

  3. I have never seen two nuts on a bike tube valve but i would have them
    both out. When you tighten the second one against the first one it will
    lock the nuts preventing them from loosening.

    It probably doesn't make much difference either way as long as at least
    one is out

  4. I am not sure what it matters if it's motocross tube or a trials tube.
    It is 19"x2.50 uninflated. I have taken both nuts off and put them on
    the outside, so we will see how that works and I will let everyone
    know. I got the tube from Tim Williamson at Trialsin.usa and it works
    way better that overinflating a 20x2.1 tube. I find I have way more
    control over tube pressure and I am sure I will never pinch it.

  5. both nuts go on the outside... that way the threaded vaulve is better
    sucured if you put one on the inside your liable to have it pinch the
    tube.
