They look heavy. I bet the tire is out of balance at speed now. Try 180 degree adapters, they weigh even more and make it harder to check the air. I can't believe a four page thread on 90 degree adapters. I have an excuse we have snow and I'm retired, but still four pages???

Nicely done ----- :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

For the sake of the exercise I will weigh a standard rubber as opposed to the sst valve with my supertechamickle digital poofteenth of a micky whisker digi scales (technical term) for the sake of the unbelievers :kuda: :kuda:

I've done a couple of track days on mine now and I'm sold. They are so much easier to check and change pressures and you cannot notice any difference in balancing the wheel or when riding at all. I will be fitting these to the road bike as soon as I change tyres. :kuda:

Increase your excitement. If these 90 degree tire things do not through your tires out of balance tape a tooth brush to your back wheel, that will certainly do it. Then if you need to brush your teeth you are always prepaired. Just as to make sure tape toothpaste to the inside of the front wheel the go for a 200 plus KPH ride, the joys will be forthcoming.

'BUMP'

Still have a reasonable qty of these babies in stock.

bulk orders:
6 X chrome = $50.00 posted
10 X chrome = $80.00 posted.

**still have the brass 90 degree adapters for $15 pr if required (temp' option) but you must not leave them on the bike. ie use to check tyres then put back in your toolkit etc..
