Circuitmage Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have some experience with having to re-inflate tires from my 16S and 18L riding. However, this 18L valve seems especially tight against the rim, making it impossible to use my old valve extension that I used to use on my previous 18L tube valve and my 16S tubes. I even ordered an adapter that has a smaller screw on form factor that is still tight to get on and takes a sec to unscrew. So, my 42 psi turns into 35 psi by the time I get it off. It usually only takes me 10-15 seconds to inflate my tire, so it seems like a waste to screw something on the valve and unscrew it. I notice I can use my tire gauge easily with it's press-on connection to check the pressure. So, it seems logical there must be a quick connect adapter I could use, even for this small electric inflator I have. Something like a large air compressor press on , quick connect is what I want. But I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know if there is an adapter like this? If so, it will make things a lot easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessa25 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I don't know of a thin adapter, but I push a plastic tab between the valve and rim of my V8 so it's easy to push on an inflator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
