Tire Tube stem interference.

A friend highly recommended I buy some Michelin Airstop tubes.

I have had to add air to the main tires here in the workshop several times, but not to the front tire.

But the biggest reason I want to replace the tubes is that the current tube (main tires) has a straight stem and it literally hits the hex axle nut. The airstop has a bent stem which will solve that problem.

So my question is: Has anyone else encountered this stem-to-axle nut interference problem? Could Vans have sent me the wrong tubes?

Mine were the same. I replaced mine with the 90 degree stem. Made all the difference.
