Pro  3906     Libertyville, IL |  Subject: Tube selectionAnybody who runs deep section rims know if any Milwaukee bike stores carry anything 700 X 19 and 80mm presta? I had some luck with wheel and sprocket in brookfield for some other stuff but didnt get the right thing a few weeks back, so dont know if they have the right thing. I suppose i could make a phone call, but i think you guys are smarter? |

Elite 2673 Muskego, WI | Subject: RE: Tube selection It would be cool if there was a device that we could use, where each store has an individual code or set of numbers. You punch in that set of numbers and viola, you could speak directly to someone at the store! I wish we had that. I was in BRK W/sprock a week or so ago and they have some sweet race wheels on display. I'm surprised they don't have the tubes you're looking for? I'd bet Hales Corners does if Brk does not. |

Expert 1168 | Subject: RE: Tube selection Also, dont buy the 80mm....you need like 36-40mm and use that extender. 80mm valves still wouldnt be long enough alone and that extender would stick out like 4 inches with them. Oh yeah, and there is a magnet glued to the inside of the cutout on the disc if you have a rear wheel pickup. Shoulda mentioned that before.... |

Expert 1168 | Subject: RE: Tube selection No removable cores. I think those are only on tubular tires anyways. The extender screws right into the valve on the tube. The extender on there lets you open and close the valve - remember me showing you? Works the same as screwing a presta valve open or close. That valve works really good getting the tire fully up to pressure. Very little air leak when pumping. Sames goes for the crack pipe. Youre not gonna put different tubes are you? Keep those latex ones in there. You shouldnt have any problems the way theyre set up righ tnow. |

Pro 3906 Libertyville, IL | Subject: RE: Tube selection pseudoyams - 2009-08-25 12:38 PM gotcha. since you are here, do those wheels work good for cyclocross? just curious, not asking for any reason i would only have problems if i flatted and i am not going to MOO with no tubes so i guess the question is then if that one with the extender is just a regular presta opened up under the extender, with the extender acting as a second valve?The part that you turn on the extender to open/close its opening actually connects with the tube valve and will turn that one as well.  |
