Length of valve extender needed for tubulars on Z606

I’d rather not use the Zipp extenders since I hear there are better (metal) extenders out there. What lengths am I going to need for the 404 front, 808 rear combo?

Thanks!

I got tired of the extenders with my 404’s. Bicycle ranch has tubes with 80mm valves. It’s awesome, I would try that. My take on it…

Thanks, but… tubulars.

When I was going w/ clinchers, I had figured the 80mm tubes were the ultimate solution.

The Tufo extenders are great. A 40mm + 28mm works great for the 808. The 40mm is fine for the 404, but for your spare, I’d go with the 40+28 as it will work fine on the 404, just be a bit long.

I use some Teflon paste on the threads, but the extenders do have an o-ring. I figure better safe than sorry…

My 606’s came with Zipp valve extensions, they are black, aluminium, and have Zipp laster etched in them, quite nice.
