Anyone fitted these? .... the standard ones are a PIA to get at with rotors and chains and sprockets etc in the way Im wondering if its one size fits all wheels https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Univers...795682&hash=item4b36dd3d8b:g:oLoAAOSwNmVacYzc https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Blue-11...174335?hash=item362ec93d3f:g:2pcAAOSwTmtaPtUc https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-90-...693684?hash=item1a374932b4:g:dIsAAOSwW9dZ3DIR
Yea I may invest in a new set of tyres for the Texas derby so a good time to fit these ... and the old tyres can go on Project X Did u just use the ebay ones?
The first set you linked are the 9mm one's for dirtbike's, second set are 11.3mm for road bike's and car's The 3rd set look like they'll suit road bike's and car's too, but being brass may be enough to throw off the balance a little You can also get stealth valve's which sit almost flush with the rim, but the adapter you use to pump them up with is straight so will have your original problem still https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stealth...236182?hash=item2384a49dd6:g:qY8AAOSwaEhZGX88
I bought some but the threaded section is so short that the nut barely screws on. Decided to pass and will use the usual jobbies. Oops must read @my67xr comments first. Seems I might have bought the wrong ones. Well they look like the first set that Mr Grey posted. They fit in the hole but are too short. The ones in the second picture look longer.
Yea these look to have long threads https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ariete-...819997?hash=item41adaf489d:g:WT4AAOxyshFRfhla
Don't buy this style https://www.lazada.co.th/-i11451717...tail_image.1.7a6961087EEH6K&urlFlag=true&mp=1
I just bought these adapters that just screw on to your existing valves. Just thought I would share another option. Came as a 4pk and split the cost with a mate for his bike too. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/232158615057 Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I bought some metal ones off of a china site. I hesitated to use them because the part to fill them(valve stem) was short. After experiencing a failure due to the long neck on the one I was using, I changed them. They work fine. They were cheap enough to order a dozen, so I change them out with each tire change. https://www.banggood.com/
I just carry one of these in tool bag for emergencies, have never had to use one yet (but others have borrowed). Always check tyres at home before a ride with my compressor fitting. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/232158615057?ul_noapp=true
If you are struggeling to get a connection on a reg valve, try going through a hole in the brake disk, works a treat for me
As I have a few bikes of course , 3 trailers , the 4WD plus airbags , a jockey wheel , a trolley and a wheel barrow that all need air , a compressor at home is a must
I have read accounts of riders who had used the 90deg. / add to the stock valve. They complained the added weight and imbalance of the add on introduced stresses that weakened the stock valve to the point the rubber cracked and the valve failed. My answer was to purchase an air chuck with the flexible hose at the delivery end. The chuck actually clamps onto the valve, and the air is introduced with the trigger in the handle behind the built in gauge.
I'd only use the 90 degree adapter's to pump up the tyre, then unscrew it and refit the cap to the valve
Since my aluminium ones are useless, I was just going to fit the rubber jobbies. Then the tyre shop did not have any the right size so had to use these. At least the tyres are on now.
The only thing I could think of when looking at those 90 degree adapters is what happens if one comes loose and you get rapid deflation at speed. I've had half a dozen tyres lose pressure and fortunately not gone down, but they were still partially pressurised
You don't leave the screw on adaptors on the tyre, they will unbalance the wheel and may (as you said) deflate the tyre. I carry one in bag and only use then put back in bag.
