Tire inflation for our V11s... valve extension: flexible? elbow 90 or 135 degrees? do you do N2?

p6x, I do not think there is any benefit in nitrogen filled tyres. Never used it myself but if the opportunity arose I would not bother. On the other hand have installed angled valve stems front and rear. 90 at front and 135 at rear and yes both facing away from the side stand.

I checked and filled my pressure using my air compressor; while the rear was a walk in the park, the front was a bit of a struggle. I will probably replace the valves the next time I change the tires.

 For the bikes I have not installed 90 degree stems I made one of these. Fits in your pocket or anywhere else. Dual foot air chuck end with a Schrader valve installed.

I thought about carrying an adapter, and a proper pressure gauge.

This is good, but Dalton's law of partial pressures tells us that eventually other gasses will diffuse into a nitrogen inflated tire, so purging and re-inflating after several years could be needed.

but checking tire pressure is more important.    

I can tell you scuba dive... using a re-breather possibly? constant ppO2?

I concur with tire pressure. I check mine before I ride.

My old Slime air pump gave up the ghost.  The new one I purchased has a clamp on chuck, rather than the screw on type.
