Yea those would work better than then damn straight up valve stems they put on them. They must have some idiots that design the wheels. Still be a pain in the *** screwing them on and taking them off but better than whats on there. Think I will have to get me one of them.

another wow thread.

its a tire. full of air. checking it is not brain surgery. put extra in if you like and bleed it down to where you want it.

Yup. I have the same ............chromed. <wink>
Paid 8 or 9 bucks for it at a local RV dealer. Makes the job so much easier. When I change my rear tire, I'll have this angled valve installed.

I was doing some searching, this looks like a good one, but not for folks with spokes:

I have these wheels and they are a PIA to do anything with. I put Dyna Beads in mine today. Try doing that! Here's what I use. I already had the compressor and air chuck. I went to ACE hardware and bought 1/8" brass street ell and now it's pretty easy to check and add air after you get the cap off.
