Had the same issue on my new BX. Dealer stated the rubber stems were no problem, Rimguard said they would eventually fail. Rimguard was right, they lasted 3 years. Dealer was gone so did some research and came across Colby Valve company. Replaced both stems with Colby Extra Short brass valve stems and have had no problem since, over 8 years now. Colby stems can be installed without removing or breaking down the tire, the reason I used them. Lost approximately 1/2 the beet juice in the tire that blew the stem, probably 1/3 in the other, have bolted on wheel weights now to offset this loss.
