My Lectric was delivered last night and all components seem to be in good working order other than the way the rear air valve stem is protruding from the rim. Compared to the front tire stem, the rear stem isn't completely pulled out. Plus, it leans at an angle. The front stem protrudes straight out at 90 degrees; it looks perfect. I did deflate the rear tire and with my fingers managed to pull the front stem out more, as well as decrease the acuity of the angle. It's considerably improved but it's not 100% like the front. The inner tube must have been poorly positioned at the factory.
I'm wondering if the rear inner tube might fail prematurely where stem meets the inner tube rubber. Or will I be forced to have my first self-taught clinic, remove the rear tire and re-situate the tube?
