I thought I would install an angled metal valve stem on the rear wheel while I am changing the tire. I have several types but the opening in the flange for spokes where the valve stem goes is not wide enough to allow any of these valve stems to seat against the rim. A search revealed a few posts about using metal stems but the only picture was of an FJR rear wheel. If you are using a metal stem on the rear how did you work around this problem? I am not going to cut the opening in the flange wider.
