Learn me on valve extenders please

[Jeff N.]

Continental extenders work great for me. They come with a little plastic "wrench" and changing them out is a piece'o'cake.

Yep, just bought a 5 pack of 80mm Contis on Amazon last week for $35.

Got a saddle bag? Just zip it up in there, maybe connect it to a little key chain or something. Works for me. It ain't no thang...

Next step for go-fast bike is Vittoria Latex tubes with Conti valve extenders.

Cuz ya gotta leave the valve open..and sometimes they leak..The best are the ones that replace the valve core..

Not really....just buy extra extenders and put them on your spare tubes, or tubulars in advance. That what no messing around on the road....and leave the little plastic wrench in your saddle bag for just in case.

25s are fine for sure. I'd expect them to be fine with 28s too, but I'm not sure I've actually tried it.

They'll be fine. YMMV. LOL.

Really though, I've run 18-25 tubes in my 35c gravel tires and 38c Barlow Pass for many many miles with no issues.
