I just bought some MTB tubes with 40mm valves that I thought would be plenty long enough. They weren't!

Can valve be removed and extenders added, like my Vittoria latex tubes in my 50mm deep rims?

I did manage to get it to work. Bit naughty of Specialized to sell a bike with tubes fitted that aren't available to buy aftermarket. The tubes they sell are only available with 40mm valve stems but the one I removed was slightly longer. I just got the lock ring to catch on the valve thread so I could inflate it. Luckily I was at home.

Schwalbe Impac for general riding here.

Not expensive. And so far great quality.

After a couple of failures for unknown reasons - I vowed to never knowingly go budget again.
