#979802 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast wheels? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   If so, have you had any problems? I find the cast wheels even more difficult to air up than the spoke rims; would you recommend the adapters?   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/07/23 13:50 By Doc_V.   It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s been lots of fun guys...

Works perfect.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #979810 txulrich (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2768 Re:Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast whee 1 Year, 7 Months ago   When I had new tires mounted, I went with these.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/07/23 15:59 By txulrich.   Peace, Baron Wilhelm Gustav von Schmidtt III (but you can call me Joe)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #979816 03BlackStar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Re:Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast wheels? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   I've read about guys having trouble with those adapters. They flex the rubber valve stem at speed and cause them to flex and lose air. Better to wait and use permanent mounted metal stems at tire change.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #979826 backinthesaddle (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 350 Re:Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast wheels? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   +1 on what 03BlackStar said.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #979829 68jmpr (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1254 Re:Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast wheels? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   I use one of those on the back. It's not supposed to be left on when riding, only use it to put air in and then remove it before riding off. You will loose a small amount of air when unscrewing it to take it off, so check the pressure after. You may find you need to add slightly more air pressure before you remove it to assure the pressure is where you want after a small amount leaks out during removal of the valve. I also plan on getting the permanent ones before I put on tires again. Good luck.   Logged     http://s1150.beta.photobucket.com/user/68jmpr/library Open Sub-Folders to left for more pix   The administrator has disabled public write access. #979834 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Anyone useing 90° valve adpaters with cast whee 1 Year, 7 Months ago   txulrich wrote: When I had new tires mounted, I went with these. I installed those last year on my spoked rims after I sealed the spokes. The K&L brand kinda sucks in these. Over priced most of the time. Mine are Bikemaster brand. I'm putting some on my SV at my next tire change.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #979835 veebus52 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 182 Re: 90° Valve stem adapters 1 Year, 7 Months ago   I put a Bikemaster 90° valve stem on the rear when I replaced the tire last Fall. It sure makes things a lot easier. Will do the front when I replace the front tire.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #979840 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Re: 90° Valve stem adapters 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I'll have the perm ones installed next change. Cheers! Doc_V   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/07/24 11:36 By Doc_V.   It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s been lots of fun guys...
