90' tire valve stem

R.I.P
I thought that I would try a 90' valve stem the next time that I changed a tire so I did. Mistake, the stem doesn't clear the brake caliper so I turned it 180' so that the cap is on the belt side but the pulley makes it a bit awkward to check tire pressure. It is done now but next tire change it will get undone. Just thought I would mention this in case you thought of doing it.

Wow... I don't think I've ever seen a 90 foot valve stem :newsmile100: ,Seriously though thanks for the info.
 
Personally like the shortest stem possible that allows you to fit most air chucks (or carry a small stem extension that works with your guage). That way, less balance weight impact and less profile to catch or snag. I do use metal cap with seal inside, less chance of leakage (also keep insert wrench to make sure the inside valve is tight) after checking air pressure and sealing with cap.
