    Has anyone ever have a problem with the inside of the wheel spininng inside of the outer part. I was out riding today and the back tire went flat after taking it apart i relized that the rim had spun and cut the valve stem off I was wondering if this is common or if anyone knew what would cause this problem?
    :confused:

    What?!?! Those are one piece mag wheels and cannot 'spin' inside itself. I'm really curious as to what exactly you are talking about.

    the tire went flat then after removing the wheel and inspecting it i noticed all the powder coating was scratch in a circle on both sides and the valve stem holes no longer lined up. the center of the rim didnt brake out. It just looks like the outer part spun creating the valve stem holes to unline and cut off the valve stem.

    Dude - there IS no outer part of a VF700F wheel. I think we are talking about different bikes here or something. Again, the wheel is one piece. The valve stem is pressed into the wheel. Even if the tire spun on the rim (highly unilkely) then the valve stem would not be affected at all. Do you have any pictures of what you are talking about?

    Why do you have a tube in your tire/wheel... That is why your wheel spun... It's suposed to be a tubeless wheel w/the valve pressed in. When you put a tube in the tire/wheel the tire doesn't seat to the wheel. You may have had a leak in the tire and someone thought that might fix the problem. I'd pull the tube out. put a new stem in it have the tire mounted and check for leaks. you may need a new tire or wheel, I'd bet it's the tire.

    yeah sounds to me what he means is he has a tube and it spun cutting off the valve stem. I believe the rim stayed in tact. But a pic would clear things up.
