    Hey guys, new to the tourers and having trouble finding a 90 degree valve stem adaptor to put on my tyres that won't interfere with brake calipers etc. What brand or style 90 degree bend of valve stems do you use.
    Cheers

    I just got one of these DRC extension hoses Robbo, see this link

    He does the angle extensions too, and pretty reasonable with his prices.

    Cheers

    For around $15 you can get a screw on hose from your dealer. Plenty long enough to use easily. I have had mine for years, recommend them.

    I'll give a third vote for the dealer supplied hose extension. Makes it much easier to check and adjust air pressure.

    Thanks for the replies fellas, I think I'll go for the hose extension and then when tyre needs changing have a 90 degree valve stem installed through the rim by me tyre man.

    Bloody crappy design, I have heard the 2018's have been rectified.
