Topeak valve extenders rock! they screw on tight with no tape needed and you can check actual air pressure. plus, they’re under $9!!
highly recommended fyi
i have the zipp valve extenders that came with my wheel, and they blow. first off, it’s hard to take the pump off of them, and second, the tire pressure thing is hard to figure out.
i’ll check into them- thanks!
this is where i bought mine…he has a few different lengths: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190136129034&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009
No, i’m not affliated whatsoever
.
I’ll second these… I bought mine, a shorter version, from REI for $5.95. Best price, and best extender, I have ever used.

Of course if you run clinchers there’s no reason in the world not to buy tubes with extra long valve stems. They are great.

Reason 1: you don’t want to have different sets of tubes for each of your types of wheels. A long stem might work for your deep front and be too long for your disk rear, and look absolutely silly on your 35mm front training wheel.
