Went to garage to check my tyre pressures and.......couldn't get the nozzle thru my rims/spokes to get it on the valve! am i being a thicko and missing the obvious trick to getting this on?

its awkward but i have never not managed it.
it takes some wiggling n funny angles but it can be done

wasted nearly five minuted of knuckle scraping but it wouldn't go, will try another garage incase hose angle is different maybe?

I can on the CG but have never managed it on the CBR. I either borrow my neighbours compressor, or you can buy right-angle valve cap things which bring it out to one side. Considering this for the CBR.

I saw them at George Whites, but that won't really help you now!
Something like this - http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/moto...tent_rev/48191 - fit to valve, inflate, remove, use on other tyre, remove, ride away.

I think all Trumpets come with angled valves, just ask next time you get tyres fitted for them.
