Valve stem extenders??

[pattypape]

The longer the extention the more centrifical force and wiggle,
which could possibly lead to valve stem or seal fatigue.

For now no extenders, Just a screw on cap with the ability to check
the air pressure. I use a straight shank air chuck and a straight
air pressure gage. But you do need to bend over and peak into that
hole in the rim for the inner dual. With extenders, the stem could
possibly be about eight or more inches long. I have no experience
with the black plug that looks like a hocky puck.

Bill 88FC,My old hocky knees and back would like to try the blackplug
