Sorry to be dull and return to topic but are there not wheel balance issues if you retro-fit a 90 degree valve extension?

It's presumably ok if it's there when you get the wheel balanced.

There's a bloke on ebay selling 10 truck valve extensions.
9 days to go. Maybe one of us could win them then 9 others chip in for a group bargain?

I'd had the same thought as you Fausto - with the same conclusion.
I guess we need to make mental notes to fit 90 degree valve adapters the next time we get new tyres fitted.



Maybe things are different when filling tyres with "Space Air" when fitted to a Space Tractor .... I don't know for sure, but I expect we shall find out soon enough .....

.... and, yes, I KNOW that "Space Air" is a contradiction in terms .... an Oxymoron if you prefer.
Oxy - as in an abreviation for Oxygen , Moron - as in ... no I really couldn't be that cruel ..........

Right! to resurrect this thread!

I have acquired 10, thats TEN, Flexible valve extensions. They look like this

Image

They're high quality and the rubber flexible part uses Michelin steel reinforced tubing. (still highly flexible though)
They are approximately 21 cm long. Theyre better quality than the one in the image above, i hasten to add

If anyone would care for one, then drop me a line via PM (and on here) and for the price of post and packaging, one can be yours. First come, first served, One per person please though! :smt002
