Dumb question

[hicrop10]

I am changing my steering tires on my 79 r model.From 1100 x22 to 11r24.5. My question is what side of the rim is the outside,picture 1or 2.

[hicrop10]

I left out that I have spoked wheels on the truck .

[mowerman]

I would face the stem out 

[mowerman]

Tubeless rim it shouldn’t matter

[hicrop10]

Tks,just what I in fing 90 heat

[mowerman]

We all got the same problem it’s supposed to be 107 here. I had some yardwork I had to get done I just went out there and did a lot of it.

[mowerman]

Heat doesn’t necessarily bother me that much I sunk a clothesline last summer it was 105. My biggest issue was the cement started to heal in the wheel barrel before I got a chance to pour it in the hole. I had to add more water ha ha

It does, the rim will only attach with the stem outward.

 If you are changing from 11x22 to 11x 24.5 you are stepping down one tire size. If, however, you are changing from 10x22 to 11x 24.5 you are staying the same size.

[mowerman]

What about the rear inner? That’s what I was thinking.

[mowerman]

Or outer I’m confused now ha ha

[mowerman]

It looks like the flange is in the middle now I’m just as confused as he is ha ha

[Geoff Weeks]

Rear inner mounts with the stem out, rear outer mounts with the stem in. Front mounts with the stem out.

 It has to do with the heavy mount ring that the wedges clamp too, and what has the taper.

 Inside of the rear spoke has a taper that the inside of that ring mates too

Outside rear, the wedges have the taper.

 

Front spokes have the taper, front cleats  hold the rim on the taper.

[tjc transport]

yup, what he said^^^^

front and inside rear tires mount stem facing out. rear outer mounts stem facing in

[hicrop10]

Tks,Mark T that’s the way I mounted them,

[Geoff Weeks]

Is there a market for a Spokes 101 thread? They used to be common but are not anymore. Anybody who says you "torque them straight" run from. There is a trick to getting them on, but they are strong and easy to change with hand tools.

[mowerman]

Just have to have to  true them up. That was my next question if you had to change up hubs on the rear. I did hundreds of them back when I was a teenager worked in a tire shop never even saw a tubeless tire back then.

[mowerman]

So pretty much the same way as the split rims Bob

[mowerman]

 and now, the thick part of the rim meet the keepers now it all , make more sense thanks for that

[Geoff Weeks]

I was still running 10R x20's on my trucks when I retired. I had a mix of tube and tubeless.  Finding tubes on the road became the reason I started to phase them out. No rim or bead leaks with tube types.

 I ran long haul and carried a spare, regardless of construction.

It’s the only way u can,there’s no way to mount them wrong..

PIc 1 is correct

Pic 2 wont fit on spoke

Picture 2 would go on the outside of duals on a spoke.  Changing from tube type to tubeless requires reevaluating  the hardware you're using, as at the very least the spacer in the back is often a different width. Then you need to make sure the wedges are correct too.  Steer axle isn't as fussy.

[Geoff Weeks]

NO! the spacer and wedges are determined by the spoke hub, they don't change with the rim choice. Spacer sets the rim position for the wedges. The spoke length determines how wide the spacer that is needed and how wide the rims it can hold.

 Difficulty when buying used hubs without the factory spacer and wedges, is getting the correct parts.

[Mark T]

True, but old spacers are often squeezed in some, then the difference from manufacturers ????  can't just take for granted there's gonna be enough there to clamp different rims in place.   That's assuming the spoke is in good shape too. Not uncommon to find them missing some parts after a rim spins past the lumps around the valve stem.   Tight lug nuts are no guarantee rims are tight .
