Yeah, I figured...
It was weird though... when you pressed the valve stem from side to side
it leaked _exactly_ like it would on a regular tire/wheel with a cracked
(or unseated) valve stem. I can't figure out how it'd do that with a tube
unless perhaps the tube or valve stem had a hole in it or something?
These wheels don't normally have tubes, Joe had them put in tubes
because the rims are kinda bent up... I wonder if there's a sharp edge
on the valve stem hole and the tube cut itself on it?
