Well, I have to admit that going around with no nuts will definitely help with population control.

Kevin,

I've got the wheels and tubes like you used. Don't have nuts on mine, 

but used a S-83 Michelin Tire

which is 3.50 x 8.00 and has perhaps a better profile than the ones from 

Zenith.  I recommend you

put a rubber fender washer on the stem before putting the wheel together 

and it will protect your tube

from damage.  I found mine at farm and fleet when tubes became leakers 

and were replaced.  The edge

of the wheel where the stem exits is too sharp and large a diameter for 

the stem. see links,

I smoothed the radius of the stem hole, added the rubber washer and that 

solved both problems

I have the ZAC furnished wheels, tires & tubes.  The tubes have 90 deg valve stems and are threaded for a thin nut at the base of the stem.



What's the trick for getting the nut on after the tube is on the wheel?  It seems to require higher dexterity or more hands than I currently possess.

Kevin Kinney
