which valve extenders for 50mm?

Cornish-J

any recommendations, i was looking at the planet x ones, are they ok?

In the past I've used Topeak extenders, now I buy tubes with 80mm valve stems. Planet X do 'em.

Personally I prefer to use tubes with longer stems - currently using 80mm threaded ones - I use the lockrings to stop the bloody things rattling in the wheels (Mavic SLRs). I've never been comfortable with the idea of valve extenders - more chance of air escaping etc.

sorry, this is for tubs not clinchers

Chrissz

Do tubs not come with extra long valves too?

Cornish-J

Oh, i dont think the ones i'm after come with them...

zzzzz.....use the search... :?

My understanding is that Vittoria and Conti use a different thread and hence don't fit on oneanother's tubs...

Dunno - I fitted Conti extenders on my Conti tubs, just to be on the safe side !

as i said.... do a search... i explained the difference in extenders required between high end vittorias, cheap vittorias and cheap contis on another thread... I don't know about dear continentals.

liinks to pictures & wiggle are in there.
can't be arsed repeating myself

If you're buying the tubs there, Planet X do extenders as well and they're very helpful with advice, drop them an email.

Just for info Vittoria extenders work with Veloflex

I use the topeak one. No complaints so far.

thanks guys, appreciate the help.

i tried a search but unfortunately you can't just search on topic title text, so if you search for 'valve extenders' you get loads of useslss threads!

moonshine

Vittoria Ultralite tubes are available with 51mm valves. And the valve cores are replaceable.

i use a 50mm red planet x extender on 50mm vittoria rvc ultralite tubes with my HED jet 60 front, no problems at all with those, dont forget the PTFE tape and better a bit long than a bit short .. .
