valve extender help
 
http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/Road-...item35b4600764

so im going to buy a 60-80mm wheel but the deepest wheels ive had were 48's and ive always used a presta valve adapter to make a presta into a schrader valve but as I was looking at the extenders there where no threads on the pumping end can someone please explain what I could use? :twitchy::notamused:

These would be easy.

If understanding correctly, just grab one of the little adapters for pumping if dealing with schrader pump. They cheap.

No, you'd need to use a different pump made for presta valves.

yes, get a presta pump.

re: valve extenders. put a bit of teflon tape on the threads joining it to the tube valve...leaks there will drive you crazy.
