Me too.
I bought 3 of the bike-car models. And 3 of the truck models.
The pricing is amazing.

Good stuff.

Thanks again Dallara.
Got a Milton in every vehicle now. :)

I have had this one for years, love its accuracy and its durability....

I have one of those left over from my racing days and it's still my go-to tire gage in the garage. The wife has one of the HD dial gauges that Dallara linked to and it's a good gauge too, but the hose keeps coming off at the gauge end on ours. I also have a shorty stick gauge that I picked up on the road one trip at a HD dealer because I simply needed one. Surprisingly, it's accurate, compared to the dial gauges and is a handy size to fit in the tank bag. I keep it on the bike and leave the dial gauges in the garage. Great for setting the pressure after a flat repair. (note: That built in gauge on the slime pump isn't horriible, but it's a good idea to double check with a better gauge.)

What I was referring to was if you had found some like an Ariete-brand 90-degree valve stem that mounts in the rim like the stock rubber ones. Here's some examples of the Ariete-style I was referring to:



Now there are 45-degree ones out there, and they should work. I have been tempted to try a set during one of my next tire changes, but I am still concerned about some of these sealing well with the crown of the center section of the Super Tenere's rims. Here's some examples...

It looks like the Ariete / Bridgeport unit will fit the rear rim but obviously the front is another matter ::007:: ... now if they only made one with a taller body it would probably fit within the ribs.

I might just buy a set and fit to the rear only at my upcoming tyre change ... unfortunately they seem to be only sold in pairs :(

Now if they made one especially for the Tenere front rim and sold that as a set they would have a winner ;)

Just trying to eye-ball the 45 degree option and I wonder whether they would actually work within the fron rim rib configuration as well ... however the Topeak does seem a fairly viable solution.

Interestingly with all the comments about the new 2014 S10 I don't think that anyone has commented on the change from spoke to cast rims :-\
