Presta Valve Extenders

[Mike Rudkin]

Can any one recommend an extender that works well? My current rims are 40mm deep and the valves on my Schwalbe slime filled tubes are only just long enough (it is the longest they do according to Halfrauds) I want to use the same tubes on wheels with a 50mm deep rim. Help !!
Mike.

would be perfect if my Schwalbe tubes had removable core valves.

Then I think you may struggle.. fixed valves to stop the slime leaking out I would guess !

If you want to keep with a slime type tube you can buy the longer valved tubes and use one of the other sealants in the tubes. Conti do one and I remember seeing a review on road cc of another companies that worked well. I don't know if there are valve extenders for non removable cores.

Thx guys-I have found a Conti tube with removable valve-so can add Slime myself.
I use my fixie on all surfaces all over Europe (It is on back of our motorhome) so I have Schwalbe Marathon Plus with slimed tubes.
