I've been sensitive to air pressure ever since about three years ago, when I ordered a rotation of some nice tires (Bridgestone Regno) for my car at a certain Auto-X, and the tires were ruined just as I was leaving the store parking lot after the work was completed due to super low air pressure.
I once had a scary experience on a motorcycle when something got caught in the valve and the air came out.
Because of this, I check and adjust the air pressure quite frequently. Frequent in and out of Tokyo and home.Kannana Minami Senzoku 2 RinkanIf I have time, I'll stop by and check the air pressure. This store has a convenient "portable air tank type air container" that can be used freely in the parking lot.
I often pass in front of them as well.246 Mizoguchi 2 rinkanI can't find it inNankai Parts is fixed to the wall and cannot be inflated when other bikes are around.
However, it's not always convenient to stop by. Especially when it comes to checking and adjusting air pressure on the road, we often have to rely on gas stations.
However, gas station inflators are basically designed for cars, so there are many cases where the brake discs get in the way and you can't insert the valve.
So, I have a complete set of tools for home & touring.
The valve extension in particular is a must-have for gas stations on the road. The front disc rotor is in the way, so I can't put air in without it.
The rear is fine in many cases, though (I forgot to take a picture of the front...)
So I've made up my mind that next time I change my tires, I'll replace them with L-shaped valves.

- This air valve makes the process of inflating tires much easier. Many air chucks for four-wheeled vehicles are difficult to inflate, especially when filling air at a stand. Replacing the air valve with an extension air valve will eliminate these problems.
