I bought some of the pink Vittoria Latex Tubes for my FLO 45's. The valve's are just slightly too short to allow for my pump to grab. I bought some "valve extenders" from a LBS, but those have internal threads that don't match up correctly to the threads on the tube. I saw on a Youtube video that I need "internal extenders". Where do I find these? What are you guys using?

Silca makes two kinds - one for removable core valve stems and a different one for non-removable.
All the Vittoria latex tubes I've had have removable valve cores, so I've used the corresponding Silca extenders.
I've tried a couple of other valve extender arrangements and the Silca removable core ones are my favorite - most reliable and least hassle - so far.

The Conti extenders work fine with Vittoria Latex tubes.

Guess I should have waited and saved $23!

I'm clearly a bit biased, but you can sleep knowing that the SILCA extenders weight 1/2 as much and use a barrel seal instead of a straight seal which guarantees they will seal across the entire range of valve tolerance and then some.. :-)
