I wondered..........

[widget]

if anybody knew if there was a kind of "valve extender" available.?

What I mean is an extension so that a short stem valve can be used on a deep section wheel.

 

I ask because I cant see it as been very difficult to manufacture (although I am not very technical, it dont appear to be rocket science) it cant weigh a lot, and surely it would be quite usefull, I have seen a few cyclists lately with deep section wheels and short stem tubes - Problem.!

They are readily available at your local Cajees for sure! I have bought some in the past.

Grief, well there you are!!.

 

 Thanks BB, I seldom if ever visit cycle shops so probably why I havent seen one before.

.............but I shall pay Cajees a visit later and pick a few up.

continental is available, about R80 for 2.

 

 

 

Whats nice about them, is you can remove the "valve" itself, have a "open little pipe", put juice through it and screw that little valve piece back.

 

 

 

 

 

check it:
