Valve extenders specifically for Vittoria latex tubes
Ok, maybe I'm stupid or something but I'm trying to use some Vittoria latex tubes on some deep C.F. wheels. These innertubes have a removable core so I figured no problem and ordered a set of valve extenders. But unless I'm an idiot the presta valve extenders don't work on these.
Has anyone found the right extender to do with these tubes specifically? I searched all day yesterday and just got conflicting information.
thanks!

If it's the older type you replace the whole stem with a longer (red) one. On these, the valve core is not removable from the stem.
Thankfully, they seem to be abandoning this design in favor of the normal, removable core, type.

The old style that is a tube going over the valve core also threads on to that & not the shaft.
The Amazon listing shows "frequently bought together" tubes & extensions....
