Greg,
Thanks for the suggestions, I tried to email you but they have been coming back undeliverable. I slotted to flap a little, used lots of talc, a stem bushing and bent the stem. So far so good. Jim
Hi Jim, my email is being flooded with messages from another PAS member, he fell asleep with his finger on the send button! LOL..
You should be able to get a message through now.

Your procedure sounds good, I think once the tube/tire is properly inflated, the stem will be aimed correctly.
Greg
Here is a link with tubes that are three times thicker than the china junk. Yup they are about 65 dollars seac, they have 600/700 18 with an offset.
