What is the total valve length needed for Flo 90 wheels? I’ve seen posts where people say the length extenders they use, but they don’t say what the length of the valve they’re putting it onto, so it’s not too helpful.
Is the wheel 90mm deep from the inside wall of the rim? (That might indicate that 110mm or so would be a good target.) What stem/extender length combinations do people use that works?
I run 80mm valves with 30mm extenders from Bontraeger. I then keep a spare 80mm tube with me so that I can use it on either wheel (Flo 60/90).

I use a 51mm tube (Vittoria) and a 60mm extender (Continental).

Thanks to both. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

I do the same, but my spare already has the 30mm extender on it. Sure, it would look goofy if I use it on the front 60, but then I don’t have to worry about fiddling with the extender if I flat. (I use removable cores.)

Same here.
Yeah that’s the problem w/ running a disc. I keep my spare as-is and then would need to put the extender from the front onto the spare tube. I figure the rear is more likely to flat anyways.
Not sure why, but the only time I have ever flatted a front tire was a double-puncture running through a pile of glass.
I run Vittoria latex tubes with 51mm valves. Paired with the 60mm Silca extender, it should be perfect.
I use 80 front and 80-30 rear usually, but since the store was out of 80’s i got a 60 with a 50 for the rear. Sweet wheels.

We recommend between 110-120mm of total length. Right now we are shipping Silca Valve extenders with our wheels. We are suggesting 37-42mm stem tubes with the 75mm Silca Valve extenders. Conti makes a 42mm tube if you are wondering.
Take care,
