Default 90 Degree Tire Stems

I don't care what you say, checking and putting air in MC tires is a pain in the ***! I bought these awhile back and plan on installing them when I get new tires put on. They look well made, steel construction with two nuts to secure them inside the rim. Purchased them from Veteran Tire and Rubber on line. Anyone out there using these?

Man is that ever the truth!! Finally found a bike pump that works pretty good, but still a PIA. I'll be interested in the responses here.

I just thought about these the other day when I was checking my tires. I had to take off the saddle bag just to get to the valve stem. I was thinking of getting some 90 degree screw on adapters but fear they may leak. Let us know how they turn out.

I would make sure they clear all hard points when rotating the tire.

HD does sell a flex hose that screws onto the air valve that makes it a lot easier to check the pressure. Or get them to order the fill valve for the CVO Limited. My bike is pretty easy to check/fill with them. The hose is like 10 bucks

I added the CVO stem when changing front wheel. Will definitely change rear when time comes.

Makes all the difference on the world. Even if you have 90 degree stems, this little gadget makes things soooo much easier:
