    Anyone tried these?

    Its such a PIA to check pressure with a standard valve stem and the discs etc in the way..... especially using a compressor at home then a digital gauge for accuracy.

    Maybe just to screw on when needed and not left on.

    Or maybe something like this with a flexible hose and inbuilt digital readout .......

    I thought you already had Grey, think these angled valve stems should be standard issue............life is to short to put up with hassles.

    Had the third gear ones in my ST when it burnt. Seemed to work ok but I didn't leave them on all the time, might have effected the balance.
