Checking the tire pressure on the R18CLA is a real pleasure. Not! Certainly ranks as one of the more challenging valve-access bikes I've had in the stable. Now I understand why I always see those hog riders laying on their backs next their bikes. :ROFLMAO:

There's a bunch of 90-degree valve stem extensions on the market. Anyone have success with a particular brand?

I bought a generic 2-pack set off Fleabay. Screw it on to the rear valve when needed and then take it off. Makes life much easier.

Why do you take it back off?

Peace of mind mostly. While it probably wouldn't be a problem to leave it on I have this vague sense of me being the exception and that little sucker comes loose flies into the bike. It isn't difficult to put on so I use it only when needed.
