What's the latest on presta valve extenders?
I've got some pretty deep aero wheels, will be running tubulars, and need the valve extenders (which I'm glad I thought about before gluing).
I could only find an older thread that debated good ones vs. bad ones, leakage, etc.
The Zipps on that old thread were not recommended.
Is there a pretty reliable "industry standard" extension to get air through those aeros into my tubulars?
Thanks.

Valve extenders that go inline like this work best
I've also used over the top aluminum extenders (problem solvers) without issue. I put a drop of loctite on the end of the valve and crank it open, and use plumbers tape before threading the extender on.
