drill holes on the other side and move the valve stem to that side

jvd dont' do it... it causes horrible bump steer!!!



if u want to do it thou... get them to put a valve gut in upside down to plug the hole and then u have to drill a new hole on the other side and put a new valve stem in that side...

its not worth it for the bumpsteer u will have...

dont do it dude, put the rims back on it and rock it like that and save for some a arms. when everyone first started doing it it sounded like a good idea....but...its not. its harder to ride with them like that, it looks dumb, dont do it. you think its gonna make you be able to turn better...nope sure dont. dont do it...

They're pretty right man, but if you're like me you want to find out for yourself. You have to pull the original out and reinstall it backwards(stem sticking inside the tire), and drill a hole on the other side of the rim for a new stem. Good luck.
