You would have thought that after many years of changing tyres and tubes I would not need to ask the question.....

Does one nut stay inside the rim and the other outside.  I have done it like this for years, but doubt has crept in.
Last week, I put a brand-new tyre and tube + rim tape on a rear wheel.  Within 35 miles the inner tube failed for some reason.  Not at the valve but within 15 cm.  The tyre seems ok.  I was still running the tyre/tube in.

I always put one in one out when i did them in dealers but i read more about the method in Ash's picture

Oddjob:
Both out. The tube valve is tapered to match the taper in the rim. Presume 2 nuts for locking effect.
