     Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone had trouble checking the rear tyre on their roadking, even if I take off the pannier plus have to get down on all fours as a rule (not a nice sight) and I still manage to get a compressor head onto the valve without hurting the top of my hand, especially when trying to put on a 90 deg valve stem extention,  so I had thoughts on replacing the rear tyre vale with a permanently angled one... but not sure how that would work out any suggestions, reccomendations other ideas?

    Thanks

     Hi I bought a flexible valve extension, just screw it on to the valve and put the inflator onto it. Works like a treat, the extension is about 8inchs long[not exagerating]

    +1 I also use the extension to pump the rear tyre
