Has anyone used the 180 degree valve extenders on the outer tire of your duel wheels? If you have, how do they work and where did you get them? Thanks Jim

I use them. Got them at CW. They are held on with Loctite. There is a lot of leverage there, so whenever I check pressure or add air, I support the stem/extender from behind to avoid stress on the stem to wheel seal.
So far so good, but next time I buy tires, I am putting on bent one-piece metal stems.

I have them, solid metal. When checking pressure I sometimes must pull the end away from the wheel hole so I can get the pressure gauge on, they just rotate back against the hole while driving, never had a leaking problem.

I had 180 stems put on not extenders but the entire stem.....It works like a charm and it is short and very easy to check and fill.
