Damn, it's a bitch putting air in the front tire...
Went to check the front...damn what a bitch to get my gauge or my compressor hose in there (but I love the brakes!)...lol...I had to pump it to45+ and then bleed it down. FYI, it read 38.5 after 525 miles, and the rear read 41.5...

Depends on what type of air chuck you use. Most of them with a 45 degree end aren't too bad, but it helps to swing some of the hose itself under the brake rotor so you can get a good angle on the chuck.
I bought a really nice Longacre filler/chuck/gauge a while back and it's got a very nice swivel head. That helps a lot. It's expensive, like $100-ish, but it's racer stuff, so you get what you pay for. I'm sure I'll be able to hand it down to my great-great-great-great grandkids.

Yep.
I use a 6" flexi-hose type deal, but whatever you do standard "car" attachments will make you put off checking your pressure before each ride due to the PITA factor and that's a bad thing.
