Hi I got some Mavic Cxp30 wheels, aero deep-dish tubular rims...

My question/problem is....
the tubular tires i have with them have valves that are too short. Do all tubular tires have the same length of valve? Will I need an extension for every tire out there or are some made for Zipp style wheels where a longer valve is needed. I saw this Tufo valve extension piece on their website, but it looks like a difficult procedure. If anyone has any info please please let me know.

wow I didn't even know CXP30s came in tubular... I am sure tufo makes something for a deep aero rim, you just have to keep looking..

or you can get one of these...

The Tufos on my Fort have a pretty long valve stem. Not sure how deep CXP30s are but as long as they're not like Cosmics they should fit.
