yep. Whatever the standard length stem is will be just a bit too short and you won't be able to get a pump on it. Buy the long ones.

You can just barely make the normal ones fit if you have too.

Both will work. Go long though unless you want it to be a pita everytime you inflate.

48mm valves stick out a little more than an inch from the rim. if you don't have threaded valve stems, then it can be a bit of a ***** getting the pump chuck on without a set of pliers.
