The Velocitas come supplied with a 60mm anodised extension that screws on directly to the tub and if you need to go longer for time trial wheels of 80-100mm deep, for instance, then you can buy longer ones separately."



That sounds like the Vittoria set up that they thankfully abandoned. Substantial PIA in practice- the stem can come loose on the mounted tire, and no replaceable valve core- recommend avoid.
