[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1322467, member: 11508"] Is it a female voice? That would be nice on those long trips. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] But really, I kind of hate to depend on a battery operated thing when a good non-battery-dependent substitution can be had. I'll also stand against the (probably) majority who are so in favor of 90o stems. I don't find it any easier at all to get a gauge or an air hose on them than on a short straight one. With the gauge, I think the easiest way to do it is to use one with a right-angle fitting on the end. That way I only have to slide my fingers under the brake rotor to press the chuck straight down onto the stem. and not try to get my whole hand under there. And most of the battery units at least look like they'd be very hard for me to get my hands into position either to get a clear fit on the stem or to read the result. I like this kind.
