Is there any car (no truck) known that has the valves mounted on the inside of the rim, so you have to lay under the car to check or correct the tire pressure?
When your bike is up on jack, etc, rotate the wheels and position the stems so that in the future, when you are on the ground and dont want to lift her up, you can roll your bike and bring both stems in position at the same time.
Interesting!
Assuming you never spin or skid a tire, have you found this method to stay accurate over time?
What I mean is, when cornering in particular, do the tires always travel exactly the same amount? And, more importantly, are your tires exactly the same circumference front to rear?

Are you ****ing kidding me? Just when you think you have heard it all.
Yup, change to 90 degree valve stems next time you change your tires. Makes you wonder why they are not standard...oh wait, they cost $0.02 more each. That adds up to $ 400.00 savings per 10,000 motorcycles. Mine cost me about $ 4.00 per wheel installed last time I had new tires mounted.
One of these, connected to an air tank, so I can adjust pressure at the same time.
I generally pop the bag off to check rear pressure. The narrowness of the chuck makes it pretty easy to get into the likes of even my spoked wheels.
There are angled valve stem extensions you can use to help make it easier to get a chuck on. I've not used them, but others have and have been quite happy with them.
i had a similar unit but i suspect it was a cheepie as the clamp that holds the valve stem broke only after a couple of uses. i did find it convenient. maybe i can find a better one.
