Howzit guys

 

I need some advice here please. I have bought myself a Zipp 404 front wheel and a Zipp 808 rear wheel.

 

What size valve must i get for each one? Ive been told i need to buy a valve extension for the 808, so do i buy 80mm or what what will work for both?

 

Thanks in advance

Long valve tubes can be pricey and not always stocked.

40-60mm tubes with extenders for front and rear.?

Also get removable core tubes with the appropriate extenders - they work better.

Thanks man so if i get 60mm tubes (Continental have removable core ones) then which size extension valves do i get? Looking on Chris Willemse Cycles they have options of 30mm, 40mm, 60mm. Thanks for your help.

I'd get the 60mm valve extenders.

The longer extension could allow you to use a shorter valved tube.
