Default stems

Somebody pointed out to me years ago: its not good practice to have the valve stems protruding out beyond the rim edge, the stem can easily be broken off by hitting any passing object. Or even hit a bystander or other vehicle.

We were standing around looking at a club members F15A and John Bruce made the comment "that's bloody dangerous" the valve stems were protruding way beyond the rim edge
