Tsuki Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I’m having trouble getting anything around the air valve of my Kingsong 16x. It’s literally touching the inside of the wheel and I can’t pull it out to assist in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magman116 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 If you get an extension for the air valve it will make it much easier. I purchased a 3 inch extension for mine and have no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Is hard i know. Only way is full deflate and pump it after to you desirable preasurre. Second solution is use CAR inflator on gas station : My 16X is from 2019 and i realise small air leak in time i need reinflate avery 14 days or after 150km.

Magman116 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Here is the extension I use and have no issues. The hardest part is getting the valve cap off and back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 @Magman116 My valve thread is damaged i cant screw on anymore. Inner tube valve is made of very soft iron on 16x(my batch specialy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magman116 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 No worries. I would then be looking to to use what you showed in your post where you do not need to screw something on to the valve to inflate the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s literally touching the inside of the wheel and I can’t pull it out to assist in this. I found this kind of inflator with a tire inflator hose very helpful with inflating tires such as yours. Just tilt your tire valve stem away a little from the rim and connect it with the inflator. Pretty simple! I hope it works for you too. https://www.amazon.com/Sypousy-Cordless-Inflator-Compressor-Rechargeable/dp/B0CBBJKV1Q?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A1T03SC7LK3KH3&th=1 Edited April 23 by Scubadragonsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Get simple pump with small nozzle.. 10-20$. Also add little bit of tire slime - you won't need to pump your tire almost ever again. (Tire loses air because of micro holes, or older rubber letting air true.. Slime coating will fix that.) I used need to refill my tire on weekly bases. Now maybe once in two months. I slimed my tire against punctures. Bonus - i don't need to pump my tires anymore. (Which i wasn't expecting.)
