I have just bought some 50mm rims , and am not sure what size valve to buy ? Is a 60mm too short ? Is an 80 prone to leaks , are extensions better ? Removable core extensions ?

    80mm will be fine.

    I have 2 sets of 50mm deep section carbon always used 800mm valves no problems! wouldn't mesh around with extentions!
