Hi

Does anyone have any tips for getting the air pump onto the valve on the back wheel, the spokes make it ever so difficult!

Cheers
Jack

You'll be wanting one of these..

valve adaptor

although I must be honest, I don't have a problem with my Tbird, but then I tend to use a foot pump at home rather than forecourt air lines.

I usually thread the business end of the inflator down through the spokes.Takes a bit of doing sometimes on some of the longer ones but I seem to be able to manage with most of them.
