OH NO, not this again. Let's all keep in mind that air is ALREADY 80% nitrogen. The problem is water vapor, and if you have a proper dryer on the air line, this isn't a problem. There have been many, many, many posts, all over the web, that have debunked this.

Plus, the girlie green valve stem caps have just GOT to go...
