Continental Conti Valve Extender (Pack of 2)

Great !!!

Wish they made longer ones! But was able to screw two of these together and attached to my tubular. I have zipp 1080s and by using two of these extenders together I can air up and know my tire pressure too. These allow for you to screw in the valve to the extender unlike many of the simple straw extenders!

As long as you remember that these work only on tubes with removable cores, these are great. Try them out at home before you ride. Simply remove the valve core, screw these in, and put the valve core in the extender. Voila! They are well made and come with the mini, plastic valve core wrench. If you find a good deal on tubes with short stems with removable cores, these might come in handy, or if you have deep aero wheels that require an extension, these can help. Better to buy the right length stem to begin with.

OK, so this is my second set (and third) of these continental valve extenders. Honestly, the third set is just a spare in the event that for some reason I need them. I have found that too much is better than not enough. I purchased the first set after I received my deep rim wheels from Flo (I dig these wheels and for the cost, the are quite nice). Flo sent me a set of Silca valve extenders, which broke during set up. I was really disappointed in them and became really disappointed that I couldnt use my wheels the day they came. I did a little research and ordered these. Install was quick and (even though Silca is just a one step process and this is three) this was an amazingly simple install. Rode these for IM Austin 70.3 and had no issues (except a nervous mistake prior to starting in which I flattened the tire by unscrewing the extender). I dont seem to have any air leaks, not any of significance anyway.

Excellent quality and perfect for the job

Using to adapt through some deep wheels. I put a bit of teflon tape on the original threads where the adapter connects, and on the adapter threads where the valve core connects. Has been holding air for months just the same as the original valve.

Easy to use no problems

Theyre great. I put plumbers tape on them as extra precaution, but Im not sure its necessary. I use sealant in my tubes and therefore buy tubes with removable cores for my deep dish rims. Anyway, these work great!

When using deep dish wheels this is just the ticket item you need. Word to the wise always purchase removable core inner tubes.

I expected them to fit a standard valve stem, but they are some strange small extenders. Length was fine, but I have standard valve stems. Not worth returning them.T
