Hello Slowman and All,
If you use an aluminum valve extender on your disk tire .... you can bend the aluminum valve extender about 45 degrees in a smooth curve so it is easy to inflate with regular tire pump chucks.
I had to try the bend a couple of times ... putting the valve extender in a vise and using pliers to bend ..... and I broke one extender on the first try .... but once done it is easy to repeat and makes inflation a no two hander no brainer .... .
Cheers, Neal
