Rim Nuts

Post by Original Smith » Mon Oct 20, 2025 12:38 pm

Is there a source for rim nuts to fit Blockley tubes? I know Lang's calls these rim washers, but now can a washer have threads?

I have already offered you original Schraeder items on previous post. What gives?

Hi Allan: I don't need these for my use, as I refuse to use Blockley tubes, because of the incorrect valve stem. I'm going to refer you to a friend of mine. Thankyou for trying to help!

A guy asks for a source of rim nuts to fit Blockley tubes

another guy says "I have 'em"

first guy says "yeah, well, even though I asked for a source and a source popped up, you wasted your time and I won't actually buy them because I hate Blockley tubes".

man, some people's children... :roll:

Some people just like to be critical! I need to know if anyone has a 1920's Schrader or Dill catalog showing their parts. I've having a tough time making sure the term rim nut is correct for the part I've been wondering about or rim washer that Lang's is using in their catalog. Any help would be appreciated.

...and some people love to waste others' time

I suppose it's what makes the world go 'round...

FWIW, the Schrader Catalogue and information you seek has been posted to the Forum multiple times in the past
