Inner Tubes!

[kwackerman]

Hi all,

I recently had a slow puncture and decided to replace the tube rather than patch it.
I have several perfectly good inner tubes in my garage, some brand new but when I came to fit one I noticed that the valve length is half the length of the inner tube I have removed from the ebike tyre. I had not heard of this problem before on the forum. Are there special long valve stemmed inner tubes that you can buy from any normal bike shops?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes, long valve tubes are common. I buy Continental inner tubes for this.

You can get valve extenders for use on wheels that require the long valve, if you wish to make use of your existing tubes.

I find my short valved tubey pokes out enough for me to get a pump on it but would prefer the pukka one

Which reminds me, I ought to buy a 16" and a 20" tube for Prowler.
