Townie 7D inner tube question

Anyone use these inner tubes? Figured eventually I would need at least one. I was gonna throw a couple in my Amazon cart. Looks like they're rated pretty high. Only thing I'm not sure about is the length of the valve stem. Says 26" 1.95-2.125", 32mm long. Anyone know if that's long enough for the stock wheels on the Townie? Thanks in advance.

Show a picture of the wheel. One of my bikes with deep section rims requires 48mm valve stems. Roger

I believe 32 will work in that rim. Roger

Well I emailed Electra and got a response back today that the 32 mm valve should work fine with the rim. While waiting for an answer from them, I got my first flat on the Townie yesterday morning. Luckily I was only 6 miles from home and the wife was able to come pick me up in the car. Tubes are on order.
