EDDIE valvestems

LawrencL

Hi:

The valvestems have a 90 degree bend in them and the instructions say the valve can be pointed in or out.

This would work if the 90 degee bend were to the side, but it is not, it is along the the plane of the rim.

So there is no way to install the tube so the valve stem points to the side. It is jammed in at an angle with no clearance to put on an air chuck to inflate the tube.

What is the solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Lawrence

I bought some short valve extenders at the local auto parts store. It not only fixed that but let me access the valve stem from underneath. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to add air since my wheels are all enclosed.

Luckily the values extenders are cheap, come in different lengths, and are easy to find.

Here is a picture of the one I used:
