Thought I posted this once but can't find it...
The rubber valve stem pulled off of the tube on one of the rear wheel of my NAA. Comparing the 2 rear wheels, I see the good side has a metal valve stem and a brass locknut on the rim around the valve stem (as I would expect). The bad one has rusty where the locknut would be, which is probably why the valve stem was rubber. So before I get too far down the road of repairing it, do I need a new rim? The rim still seems good it's just the threaded lock nut area is gone.
