Short tyre valve stems

What: Swap the standard long tyre valve stems for stubby ones, with metal valve caps.
Extra power ATW: unknown ;)
Bling factor: I think they look much more elegant than the long ones.
Who did it: Stuckey Tyre Service, Brunswick, Victoria.
How long did it take: About 30 minutes
Cost: About $10 per wheel.

No, you wouldn't have any problem, on my wheels at least. :D
(Well my electronic guage has a nice long stem on it, I'll check if a mechanical "pencil" style guage fits.)

I don't think my local BP gauge would fit. It's hard enough to get the bloody things on now.

Yes you are going to have to be SUPER careful not to scratch up the rims when filling.
