Latex tubes with 60mm stems?
Hello, all. I am trying to find latex inner tubes for my road bike which uses 40mm depth rims, so I'm trying to find tubes with 60mm stems. For the life of me, I can't find any.
Does this product exist?? Latex tubes with a 60mm stem for deeper rims??? Thank you! |

Not sure where to find in the US, but challenge has them on its site
https://www.challengetires.com/shop/...ex-tube/334647 Silca has a 70mm tube. |

The green Michelin latex tubes are kinda pricey in the US. A great source is XXCycle in France. I've ordered stuff from them several times and they are reliable.
$13.50/ea here https://www.xxcycle.com/16342-tube-a...-a1-60-mm.html |

Latex tubes generally have removable valves, and valve extenders are used to extend the valve length to whatever length is necessary for a particular wheel.
Valve extenders come in a variety of lengths, are reliable, and can be reused. Most even come with the simpley small tool needed to install them (which weighs about 2 grams and is easily carried on a bike). |

I just ordered a few Schwalbe TPU tubes with 60mm stems from our sponsor BikeTiresDirect.

I ordered a couple tubes with 42mm stem and 40mm extender, which I assume gives me the 82mm I need for success on this. We'll see!

I am still not 100% sold on TPU tubes, so I'm sticking with latex for now.
