Most bike accessory places will have 90 degree adaptor, I have a couple stowed in jacket pockets. But to be honest I got a decent bike pump with quick release collet and guage and do them at home.

yeah ive bought one of them double piston foot pumps does it in no time and i have a pet hate of paying for fresh air anyway thanks for the reply

I bought a set of the 90-degree ends from somewhere (probably Amazon) after a BMW friend showed me his.  Makes getting to the valve SOO much easier.  However, I also have a low-profile air chuck on my compressor at home, so it's easy enough.  It's the ones on the road (those one at the garage with the built in -- and notoriously inaccurate -- pressure gauge) that I have a hard time fitting.  I haven't mounted the angle adapters permanently, because I'm worried about throwing the tires out of balance.  I just keep 'em in my tank bag and pop one on when I need to fill.

Next time a tire gets changed ask for an angled valve to be fitted i.o. a straight one. Saves a lot of hassle afterwards.

The angled valves have been Triumph standard for quite a few years now, one of the more progressive things they have done. Pity that's not a practicable option for us spoke fetishists   :icon_wink:
