This valve stem is for a tubeless tire, I have 2 and they won't work with a tube.Yup look here
I think what Don referred to is a tube with 90 degree stem coming out of the tube.

That's good news for those of us with spoked wheels that have to use a tube.
The photo on Jack's post is for tubeless tires.

Yes........
I guess with the cost and at times issue with the 90 steel valves leaking is why most shops just install new straight rubber valves..... I guess its a headache dependent on how often you check your pressures...

Yep the rear especially can be a bit of challenge. As one could surmise my 90* extensions screw into the existing straight valve stem.Yes........

My concern would be leaving the extension on all the time. With vibration and threaded to valve stem I would be concerned of extension loosing air.
Still fighting nice like brothers after all these years......I already beat him up on the phone Don.

Hey dbmg, I absolutely agree... I never leave it on. Would be unsafe due to likely loss of air, not to mention it sticks out quite a bit. I put it on to air up and then remove it. I can see now my post may have led one to believe I did so.My concern would be leaving the extension on all the time.

I bought the valve stem extension that Jack Klarich provided a link to, and it works well. I also found that you can push the valve stem off center enough to get a normal pressure tester on the end.
