2disbetter Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Folks in Europe could you please tell me what kind of pump you are using? I have several bike pumps, and none of them work, because I can't get the head on the valve stem. The way the valve comes out, just is very cramped. Links to what you are using would be greatly appreciated. Amazon.de links even more so. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiaomi Mi Portable Air Pump In problems samal sapce bad valve angle etc 1 First remove hose from main pump body 2 Screw hose on EUC valve until you hear air leaking. 3 put hose conected to EUC back to pump body 4 inflate you desired psi and unscrew hose out of EUC litle to state where no air leak 5 remove pump DONE Or use This type of pump with CLAPHEAD you can use rasper/pile conector if is too fat. Actualy i use only shaomi pump for all Ks16X MSP HT mten4 sherman just unscrew hose mount to EUC and put back pump body is fast and efective. This not work for me wasted money: Eventualy you cand deflate tire to zero and try change angle of valve to beter acesibility sometime 3mm move is enouch or screw pump valve with pliers.

2disbetter Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Thanks I ordered the Xaomi. I guess it doesn't matter if I have yet another pump. Hahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFartRides Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) I use a straight valve stem extension available at auto part stores when airing euc tires. -you can even screw two of them together if it needs to be extra long for your case.

2disbetter Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 I can report that the Xaomi pump worked for both of my wheels. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The valve stem position is a bit of a lottery actually, depending on the inner tube. Angled valves aren't always angled the right way so the only way to use one (if you don't have a spare) is to just force it in an awkward position that becomes super hard to inflate. On one of my wheels the stem is so tight up against the rim that I need to deflate the tire every time I want to get the pump head over the valve to inflate it. If you want to avoid this get multiple inner tubes and pick the better one. Some inner tubes aren made from rubber and these are more malleable (helps to get the valve right) but some are made from some plasticy material that can't be adjusted.
