(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best tire valve stems, caps & adapters

Was for these

Oh snap I just realized that these exist.

Put these on and just check that they're green before you go.

Tire pressure mostly, these are awesome. I have a different brand, but same idea.

just be sure to get a high pressure valve core for use in a shock. typical tube valve cores are not rated to the pressures that a shock will likely experience. They may fail or more likely just leak at these pressures. https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Racing-Schrader-Assembly-802-00-012/dp/B0022ZIV1G. The fox branded one will be more expensive but more likely to fit well.

my experience with those wide 20 inch wheels is that it can be tough to get the tire back on without breaking some tire levers. also, its not fun at all. leave the tire out in the sun before trying to put it back on the rim.

my advice is to:

1. use some pliers to fully remove the thorns
   
   
2. remove the valve core with a valve core remover (i like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SFM6SX)
   
   
3. squeeze in a good bit of cycling tire sealant into the tube, replace valve core
   
   
4. pump to about 75% normal psi, spin the wheel a bit and let dry with punctured area at lowest point touching the ground
   
   
5. if psi holds pump to 100%, if not repeat
   
   both of my wheels are loaded up with sealant by now and I use it regularly on all my bikes to avoid changing tires

The spare in my highlander has a slow leak, it does the same thing . Always check the spare. Also I put some valve caps that show the pressure in the tires. Can walk around and see if the tires are ok.

Picking up a valve extender similar to these will help you with inflating the tires. https://www.amazon.com/Cuque-Extension-Extender-Universal-1-54-Inch/dp/B07NP8QFBT/
Losing air while unscrewing their shit adapter can be frustrating. These provide an extra valve and grip while unscrewing with losing minimal air.
