tell the clerk you want a valve stem. if your Walmart clerk is like here they will give you the deer in the headlight look when asking for a Shrader valve.

 

Ltbiker..Ill let you know on gauge. I like the combo set up, so you dont have to keep switching back and forth. I do take the bag off. Still a pain. I have the laced wheels. Im looking at new wheels so I dont have to run the tube. I think there is a tube out there that has an angled valve stem.... thanks

 

I think I'll just keep laying down, it's not a problem for me, and I'm too lazy to go through all the fabbing.

 

I like it.

 

Now that's thinking with your dipstick. . . . .

Good idea and creative application.

 

I don't understand everyones problem with putting air in the stock rims. I use the short little air chuck thingy and it just goes right on and I put air in the tire. Never a problem, takes maybe 17 seconds.

 

We bow to your technical superiority oh great one

 

I just lay on my back - locate the valve - then stand and roll the bike a bit until the valve accessable - usually repeat this several times. Then (on back) I maneuver the air hose on to the valve - push down for a 3 count. Then check pressure - repeat, repeat.

Warning: ensure legs are not extended into roadway of service station - death or serious injury could result (to cager driver).

Piece of cake. BTW: Nice work!

 

That's clever. Good thinking.

 

got cast wheels on my RG but I have a few of these from my sports bike days
