What length tube valve stem is needed for Zipp 404 (and 303) clinchers? Assume the short valve extender is used.

Thanks,

For the 303s, you should probably use a 60mm stem, though you may be able to get away with a 48mm stem. That's without the extender. With a 404, just a standard length extender should work on a short-valve stem. Otherwise, you'll need an 80mm length valve stem, which you I believe is sold, but you end up paying about $8 per tube.
