filling tires with air is easier with a Topeak adapter

2021.9.10: summary:

. this adapter makes it easier to 

get a pump on the tire's valve,

if you have big tires 

and pressing the pump onto the valve

tends to push the valve into the tire.

. if locking the pump onto the valve

takes a lot of power, this adapter 

gives you more room away from the spokes.

tire.pump with topeak`pressure-rite adapter:

. the topeak`pressure-rite adapter is ingenious:

it has it's own pressure sensitive valve inside;

give it a pump to engage it,

then your pump's gauge's reading will be true;

finally release your pump's engage

and the adapter quickly releases pressure

on the tire's stem valve.

. now easily unscrew the adapter.

. the adapter screws on easily, 

and has a rock-solid connection.

. they advertise it as getting into tight places,

and providing exact pressures;

but, it's also doing well at an additional use case:

since it's the pump's pressure that

sets the adapter's stem depressor,

the pump's stem depressor never gets worn out.

. also, since the adapter's stem depressor is metal,

it never gets worn out either!
