Default Chrome Valve Stems on 28 spoke knuckles

Did an exchange with Shiny ***** on black powder coated knuckles wheels. They look great and I couldn’t be happier with the wheels.

When I swapped out the tires I was talked into chrome valve stems instead of rubber. Guess what those bendable valve stems do? They make it possible to put air in your tires.

Had to go shop around and put together a chuck that would allow me to air up. No idea why they didn’t kick the valve stem off to the side on the front wheel like they did the rear.

Any good sugestions for a good 90° adaptor? Pics would be great especially if it’s a knuckle wheel.

I was thinking more of an adapter to achieve that 90°

Thats what I use. I have fat spokes on my Road King and couldn't find a chuck that would fit between the spokes. Works great
