With the rear tyre on we can now check to see if it complies with rule
18.5.0.6
a) ii) Pre-1965, Pre-1970, Pre-1975- 5" (127mm).

Yep it looks pretty good to me I hope the scrutineers use the same tape measure.

If your tube does not have enough pressure or your rim lock is loose you may notice that your valve stem looks like this after a ride.
If the valve stem looks like this it is an indication that the tube or the tyre has rotated on the rim. If you continue to ride with the valve stem like this it may tear the valve stem off the tube.
The best thing to do is to remove the tyre and relocate the tube before it leaves you flat.

You don't have to dismount the tyre, just deflate, release rim lock/s and rotate. Re-inflate to s higher pressure. I've always run 12-15psi. Some like to run lower pressures but each to they own.
