I just got a new wheelset with a pretty wide rim (Spartacus Velocity), which require long-valve presta tubes. My LBS installed 60mm presta valves, but I would think 48mm valve tubes are adequate too. Problem is, 60mm tubes tend to cost twice the price of the same tube with regular valves.
My question is, where can I get cheap long-valve presta tubes in bulk? The 3 major sites, Nashbar, Supergo, and Performance, have limited options, and some tube descriptions don't have the actual valve length (they just say "long", or "extra long"). Any ideas?
If it's just accepted that long-valve stems are expensive, I'll get a bunch at my LBS.
Cheers,
Shiran
