Inflating tires with the bent valve

Recommended Posts

The bent valve on my EUC makes it a bit of a pain to twist off the valve cap and attach the inflator because it's so close to the hub. I found the perfect solution for this. On a plastic 16.9 ounce bottle of Fillipo Berio olive oil there is a plastic pull tab the 1st time you open it. That plastic pull tab is perfect for holding the valve just far enough away from the hub that it's very easy to unscrew the valve cap and put on the inflator. It makes inflating the tire every couple of weeks easy as pie. And because the pull tab has a ring it's very easy to store with my inflator without it getting lost. I figured I'd let you guys know in case you didn't have a little do hickey to hold the valve away from the hub yet.

Do you have a picture of it?

And how is your riding practice going?

I have not gone riding since that video that I took. If the wind is calm later today I'll probably try again.

Here is a picture:
