Tube for deep section wheels

diy

My posh wheels are dura ace C50s, I've snapped off the end of the valve in the tube and while its holding air now, I obviously need to replace it. I was wondering what is the shortest valve people get away with on these wheels? I don't want to be dealing with valve extenders ideally.

thanks

I use Continental tubes with 60mm valves in mine. Don't like the hassle of extenders either!

I think Decathlon may be getting a visit tomorrow. £2.50 is a bargain!!!

+1 and use Continental Supersonics.

Why spend all that money on lightweight carbon rims and then put agricultural tubes in the place where you least want weight?

I use 60mm threaded valve stem Conti tubes on my 9000 C50,s easy to screw a CO2 inflator to and just about long enough for a track pump to hold onto , much less of a faff than using valve extenders as well, I have briefly used the 80mm valve tubes but they look a bit stupid with 30mm of valve sticking through the rim.

thanks - I will try some 60mm
