Tyre Valve Extender

[Kwikasfuki]

Last week whilst over the Pennies a nail caused a puncher in the read tyre. The TPS warned me and as it appeared a relatively slow puncture I thought why not carry on and just refill at the petrol stations.

Unfortunately it was near impossible to get the nozzle from the pump onto the valve as the valve on the GTR is solid metal with no flex and the nozzle is a solid vertical piece of metal. I tried a few different pumps and in the end decided to head home on 20PSI (12 by the time I'd got back).

So I've bought these off eBay. Means I can easily attach a nozzle onto the value by turning the extender around. Even if you have the puncture repair kit you'll still need these to get your tyre fully pumped as each capsule in the repair kit is about 4PSI.

Hi, as you say, the tyre valves on the GTR as they are on most bikes are not user friendly if you need to pop some air in. I carry the angled valve with me for just such an emergency, only advice I can give though is do not leave the angled valve attached to the normal valve, that sounds like common sense but I have known a few that have left the two connected and then been surprised when their valve gets ripped out at speed, never a pretty sight...... ::)

Someone else mentioned that as well so I just keep extender in the compartment on the tank
