I installed new M/T racing tubes on Friday and drove 70/80 miles R/T to Brooklyn.When I pulled into the garage and got out of the car I noticed the rear tire was half flat Jacked up that wheel and left. Went back in the morning and aired it up to find the leak.Finally found a small spot making bubbles so I marked it up with a yellow crayon and removed the wheel and broke it down and pulled the tube. I have NEVER seen this type of defect,,,,have you??

valve stem separated from the tube? yes I have seen that . I have fixed a lot of truck tires with tubes in them . The tube most likely spun and tore it off.

What they said. Pretty common torn off from incorrect install or caught the tire and moved
"I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

That's not a defect. You ripped the tube. It spun on the rim. Bead locks dont take tubes. How would a double beadlock spin on the rim?? I was under the understanding that the dbl BL was better than rim screws I just called M/T. The tire is a tube type tire and with the dbl beadlock the tire will not move. I'm confident the tube was installed properly but ,,,,,,,hey,,anything is possible.

I have seen it, but find it hard to believe the tire spun with double bead lock. They are just glued to the tube. I would clean the bead real well and try again. Mark the rim and tire to see if it is spinning.

saw that many times back in my teenage years working part time at the tire shop that was exactly 1/4 mile from my house. both drag racers and dirt burners. also truck tubes. now days, i have seen that frequently on these cheap-o chinesium hand carts ! instead of a "patch" being ripped off, the tube is "bonded" to the valve stem, and the stem pulls OUT of the tube. hard to believe something like this happens, eh ?

I will say the tube stem went in 1st and the tube stuffed into the rim,Than with out out the ring attached the tube is inflated with baby powder,enough for a newborn to last a week You now check the tube you watched infated to verify tube intall is smooth,,unraveled with no twists.Deflate,,,,install ring and bring to pressure.

Aired up the 1st time with the BL ring off and had my hand around the whole tube checking for anything abnormal,deflated and aired up to 10 lbs.Deflated to install on the car and set it at 12 lbs.It's good now!
