90 Degree valve stems that work?

[mrpete64]

Have any of you found a 90 degree valve stem that works well? Someone commented, on this site, that they installed them and the tires were flat the next day. Obviously, I want a very good quality valve stem add on. I find it difficult to check/add air to my tires.

Thanks for your insight(s).

Pete is "aging".

He openly declares it.
We do that kind of thing on occasion.

I think you can find good 90 degree valves but they need to be installed in the wheel itself. What I use is a 90 degree valve EXTENSION. You can't leave the extension on because they just don't seal well enough.

The wheels are made by D.I.D. you might want to go in that direction.

I purchased a 90 degree extension. Thanks for your comments.

I had one that came with the Doran TPMS, but the wheel flange was too thick and it didn't fit, so I put this angled stam on the rear wheel, it's a Honda OEM stem used on the Goldwing 1800.

Honda also puts a little plastic tab around the valves stem to keep centrifugal force from putting pressure on the valve stem and breaking it. Many GW riders have had flats because the little plastic tab came loose and didn't hold the stem in place. The very best valve stems are the little short 1" long stems.

I use a clip on just for airing. It doesn't stay on, but works well.
