Thanks for your reply Ted. The WTB tpu tubes I recently mounted up came packaged with 'O' rings at about the midpoint of the stems. I wasn't quite sure of their purpose - finally decided they were to protect the stem-tube junction from contacting the edge of the rim hole and installed them the same way you did.
Your experience with RH tubes makes me a bit wary of trying them. If and when I finally get around to purchasing tpu tubes for my Platypus with Velocity Quill rime I'll probably stick with the WTBs. So far I've been pleased with them on my Ritchey (I9 AR25 rims). I've only logged about 50 miles on them so far, but it's all been on graveled forest roads and a few miles of single track. I've been inflating the 700c x 48mm RH knobbies to 25psi.
