claudioagmfilho Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi there, does anyone know on what’s the name of the tool that we use to access the tire on the KS 16s, I see that the valve is crooked or bent inward there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasenutty Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I use my fingers and a regular bike pump. You have to grab the stem and pull it out of the channel a small amount to attach the pump. You can use a screwdriver to pry it up a little bit if you cant grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoother Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 You could always get something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CRGH2E2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought one but I haven't had to use it yet. In theory, you screw it on, then attach your air hose to the end, then remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great and make inflating much easier, but you do need to unscrew them quickly to minimise any air loss - or add a bit extra to compensate.

Circuitmage Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Definitely find an extender. You can get one for less than $2. They should really include one with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveThomasPilot Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I just use a large, flat bladed screwdriver to push the stem out for filling. Super easy, nothing special needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I use whatever comes to hand, usually a key, but I thought I'd give the extension a try (All kinds of double entendres here) as they aren't expensive, and I'm tired (tired! get it!) of levering it away from the rim with a key. (oooh, was that another one?)( @The Fat Unicyclist there's three in there for you.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
