What to do?!

Zyzz

Got some new wheels which are 58mm deep! However I mistook the size of the valves of the tubes I already have and of course they don't fit!

Should I just buy some valve extenders? Or buy some new tubes, like the one below! (assuming they fit )

Get valve extenders. That's what most people do.

Valve extenders would be cheaper/handier in the long run.

I bought new tubes. Sure, you can't have too many tubes.

Richies in Swords might have them, or cycleways. Best off ringing around and asking.

Also my thinking. When the nuclear winter / zombie holocaust finally arrives, I'll be prepared.

Went and bought 2 80mm tubes lol

Brian?

Get the screw in valve extenders and always buy tubes with removable cores. They're the only type of valve extender I've found that's any use. Buying tubes with 80mm valves gets expensive.
