Questions of the highest importance, can't use 15,000$ bike
Got no more inner tubes for my Reynolds assault wheelset and my SRAM S60 TT bike wheelset, my girlfriend ride my old Ksyriums ES wheelset so I need to buy tubes for 3 different wheelsets with 3 different rim sizes.
The Reynolds have 55 mm, SRAM have 60 mm, and Ksyirum 20 mm.
You know any place I could buy long valves for a good price shipping to Canada. I'm searching to buy about 20 long valves and 10 short ones,
Just that PBK ain't competitive anymore.
Thanks for the head up,
Max

Throw the stick!!!!
Just so I understand, you have a $15,000 bike and you are worried about buying a few tubes. Am I understanding this correctly?

Do you guys think that a man who buys a $15k bike wants ugly long valves sticking out of the rims? That doesn't fit the profile.

I thought you weren't allowed to put clinchers on a bike that costs more than a Geo Metro.

Those valve extenders work well with the color scheme.

The extenders I already had are just a touch too short used alone, so the LBS put them on top of the stem, which works, but leads to the funky look. And you can't just take them off, because there's no way to put a valve stem into the silver piece. The correct length red extenders would be all red, and wouldn't stick out so far. Someday, I'll run them down.

Perhaps this thread is a parody. Guy bragging about $15,000 bike, but can't afford high priced inner tubes.

Yeah, I think the subject of the parody has to some actual serious intent, in order to be a good target for parody.
Now simple ridicule is another matter.

"Questions of the highest importance, can't use 15,000$ bike"...what does the price of the bike have to do with the need for tubes? If this a question of the highest importance, well, you may have overlooked much of life, no?
Just get the long valved (80mm?) tubes and stick it on all your wheels; although a couple of cms sticking out may alter the laminar flow of the shallower wheels and impact wattage negetively...

But if you still have those extenders on at Christmas time, a little white tape and you have candy canes!

What a dumb comment, almost like the title of this thread.
