I know you need a tube with a valve length between 41mm - 55mm to use with a deep v but who makes them or what do you use apart from them valve extensions.

I just run standard valve length tesco tubes in my front one!

They go up to 62mm but there really isn't any need for a valve that long with deep Vs

Bontrager do tubes that have 48mm valves. Most tyre manufacturers offer longer sizes

if in doubt, buy 2 valve extenders, can't be a bad thing having a couple anyway just in case

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
