Question: Valve length on disc vs. deep rim
Quote | Reply
What do you do for a spare tire for races when running a deep rim (ie zipp 440) up front and a disc in back.

Yes they are tubular;-)

If I go with a long valve, it will stick too far in the disc. If I go with a reg size valve, it will be to short for the deep rim.

Any suggestions?

Zipp sells the disc and front deep wheel as a pair (called the 909 set, I think). Call them and ask them their advice. I would be interested to hear what they say. Probably they will suggest using their valve extender(s) which work pretty well if installed correctly. They might say to carry a spare with the extender installed. Flat on the front: install spare. Flat on the back: quickly unscrew extender and install spare.
