Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

tubes with 100mm stems?

Is there such a thing? I just got some Hed Jet60s, and even with the 80mm stems from a tri store, there isn't enough sticking out to get my pump on reliably. The valve extenders suck and cannot get a decent enough seal. It would be great just to have a tube long enough to not mess with extenders, but even searching on the Net, I cannot seem to locate anything longer than 80s. Do any exist.

I know, I know. HTFU but still.

not that i'm aware of, but if you are having problems with the extenders you are probably just using the ones that screw over the top.

try vittoria tubes which have the removeable valve core and their extenders. even without plumbers tape i've not had any dramas with them.

Why not use a presta-to-schraeder adaptor, and a shraeder pump head?

Hmm, both good suggestions. I will try the Vittoria's first. Thanks.
