But oldsteve ..... i am seriously lazy when iy comes to fiddling about in my boxes looking for bits and bobs for what essenti5should be a 30 second job. 

I am seriously thinking of a pump for home .... foot, mini compressor, heavy duty kick arse bike pump ...... just as long as it is easy to connect .

I agree with Skip.  Have had 90degree steel valves for several years.  The packaging did warn about being unsuitable for high speed riding.  I would be a bit worried about aluminium stems from a strength point of view.

It's pretty substantial ally. 
Being aluminium, they solve the centrifugal force issue that affects the steel ones.
