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!

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

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.

Are you sure Silca has a 70mm tube? I see a standard tube with a 70mm extender. It's a 42mm valve.

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.
