Probably, yes.

The Bontrager one won't work - it's designed for Bontrager's own moulded rim strips. Silca do 80mm and 100mm valves.

I can only see 44 and 60, at Sigma. Don't have a link to someone with the 80/100mm do you?

Westbrook and 7hundred have the 80mm. Can't find anywhere in the UK with the 100s.

The UK, first the euro evacuation, now a tubeless backwater...

Ah, I was using google's shitty shopping search, not the normal search. Ta

Since the core is removable you could just get a normal length valve and use an extender ..
-

I'm going to need to get dimensions of these valves and see if the 80mm will work or if I have to order a 100mm from Germany (fucksake Brexit).

Is it? Wait, which valve has the removable core? I already have some core extenders.
-
• #1115
its just a normal valve with this bit removable:
So you could have Tubeless vale > extender > valve core. Obviously it increases chances of leak etc. But if you know what you are doing and have plumbers tape at hand ..

Or Loctite 542. Better option for valve extenders IMHO.
-
• #1117
Ah, the Silca has removable core.
-
• #1118
I think all tubeless valves have removable core. I inject sealant by removing core with stans after seating the bead.
-
• #1119
I've got Loctite 249 tape already. That would work as well as ptfe, no?
-
• #1120
I see. I couldn't tell looking at the kcnc because of the cap and it wasn't mentioned.
-
• #1121
Given all the problems I've had with this wheel I think I should just find a single valve that will work, either 80 or 100mm and avoid anything extra :)

I agree and a spare in saddle bag just in case on one of your crazy rides.
-
• #1123
Spares are for wimps...
-

fucksticks, i ordered my wheels from light bike last week and could have ordered you spare valves
but there are loads on the market and if you wish to be really ghetto you can just use the valve from a punctured inner tube
@amey, sorry i didn't split postage on rims with you but living here in the sticks was going to make getting rims to you a ball ache

and if you wish to save yourself from needlessly spending £10, you can just use the valve from a punctured inner tube
This is, of course, nothing like trying to bodge a Cannondale crank removal tool out of sticks and glue. Of course.
How about this 75mm Lifeline?
