Are you having trouble reaching the valve with both tyres? I used to get annoyed trying to pump air into my back tyre, but I found a way to slot the nozzle/handle through the spokes so it was actually in between the spoke rather than coming in at an angle.
Anther option is to buy a small pump or even a portable version like Airman Sparrow or Slime, and just inflate at home.

Yeh its basically getting the nozzle at the right angle to connect with valve on the rim. I managed to squeeze it through the spokes so that the nozzle was at right angle and use it that way but its a faff as the brake discs get in the way too as the nozzles seem to be designed for car rims. Thats why i thought that there might be a product like the brass 90 degree adapter i got, but with a quick release system rather than a screw in type connector.
I`ve got a hand help electric compressor, and do pump up at home, but i want to to see if there was another way, especially if out for any length of time.
