valve extender advice for 50mm profile

stabvest

any advice on valve entention length for 50mm profile carbon rims, the tyres i run are a standard lvalve ength conti sprinter tub , is it a case of sticking to continental's own valve entenders and go longer to be safer or would a 30mm-40mm entender cover it do you reckon?? math was not one one my stonger subjects you must understand finding it quite hard to gauge if you lose any length when you attach them both together

cheers

I got this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=55304 for my 50mm rims. Works very well, you can tighten and unscrew the tubs valve with it which adds to reliability. Don't forget to take it out after using, it drove me crazy with worry wondering what was rattling on the bike!

haha 60 mm of excess flapping about!!! ting ting!!! super daft question though, this would of course work with the conti tyre right, any sort of specific tape needed or does that bad boy just screw right on over- inflate-remove?? :oops:

cheers fella

No problem with Conti tyres(what I use) It comes with some O rings which goes over the nipple of the extension to seal when then pump goes on.
