So I have this weird problem with the 19incj front wheel on the standard 1190.

How the hell do you get a normal gas station air pump nozzle past the spokes to pump the tyre?!!?  I don't know if this is a problem on the 21inch front but I realy struggle on my bike. I found one has station so far with a slightly different shape attachment that I was able to snake through the spokes enough to make a good connection to the valve but most are fouled by the spokes.

Am I being an idiot??
