I have definitely seen angled valve stems on tubes, but I can't remember if I've ever seen them on motorcycle tubes.Jean wrote:When you DO find tubes with angled valve stems...TELL THE WORLD.
I have seen angled stems for tubeless...not on tubes tho.

Re: Shinko tires and angled valve stems
Angled valve stem inner tubes are available in some motorcycle sizes, but I haven't seen them for airhead sizes. They are available in some cruiser sizes, and I have three of them on my Vespa P200's wheels (regrettably, a "motorcycle" for insurance and registration purposes here in Michigan). They'd be handy on rear snowflakes.

Re: Shinko tires and angled valve stems
I believe that the angled valve stems are used on spoked Harley 16" wheels. Those wheels are "sink center" and the stems come through the side.
Is that yawns I'm hearing out there?

Just buy a screw on right angle adapter. Easy enough to find and they don't leak.

Of course, you have to install them before you put the tube into the wheel...no room to twist it on afterwards!!

So back to the internet, I guess.
