It is a PIA to check and fill the tires on the RK, there is not alot of room to get the hand in there with the air nozzle or a gauge for that matter. I like to check once a week. Wondering if there is a decent looking 90 degree nipple out there to attach to the current stem to make it easier.

 

I use a 90 air chuck at home and went to getagauge.com and bought a gauge with i right angle(RA60X) and 11" hose for my UC. I thought about what you are looking for but did not do it because i did not want to put pressure on a angled valve. I did find a angled tire valve extension that you cans use then take off before travel. that would make travel tire filling easier.

HD sells a nifty air pressure and tire depth guage that has a braided hose that works great.

 

Gman, I have that gauge and it is a quality instrument but you still have to stick your hand in the spokes to get a good seal.

 

I use the guage from HD and have a 90 degree air chuck but if you go to a service station you are right some of them you can't use.

 

You mean this ?

 

I'd think that 90 degee extension would sure simplify checking the air in my air shocks. Its a PIA to remove the left bag, just to do the air shock thing. I'd just put it on and leave it. Where did you find it?

As far as a wheel is concerned, do you leave it attached, surely it would affect the balance of the wheel, right?

this is exactly what I am looking for.

 

Hey kool! The website is in German!! . . . . . . I don't speak German so well.
There's got to be a US source! This is a problem I meant to look up too. There's only one gas station in my area that has a 90 deg chuck and someone ran over it a couple of weeks ago! : (
Grrr.
