where do most folks buy their tubes for deep rim wheels ?
I have 52mm wheels. Is 60mm the longest you can get yeah ?

Have seen a Continental brand tube with an 80mm valve. You can also get valve extenders reasonably cheaply (considering you can use them over and over) to make any valve as long as you want it.

any other takers ??
do people use 60mm or extensions ??

Get extensions.

Test them out before your A race as they can be tricky.

I use contis with 80mm valves on my 60mm wheels. Extenders have a habit of failing and leaking. If you are going to use extenders get the ones that you remove the valve core.

+1 for the 80mm Continentals. Best tube around IMO.

Nope but I've so many €5 & €6 tubes bought in the past that are only fit for the bin that €10 is cheap for the quality of the tubes.
