It lets the stem move a little rather than tearing it out of the tube. A tilting stem is an indication that the tire is rotating on the rim and might tear the stem off the tube. Talcum powder inside the tire and on the tube helps the two move indepentendly when/if the tire moves on the rim.

Well, I'll go fix that then. Learn something new every day. Thanks.
Glad my rim locks are rock solid I guess.

They are 8-32 stainless with the ends ground to a point. I drilled and tapped the rims. The screws go about 3/16" into the beads.
Sheet metal screws were commonly used back in my desert racing days (about 150 years ago). I might have used them on the KLX if I could have found some stainless ones.
