Hi all.., what the longest valve stems in latex tubes? I run vittorias which have a 51mm valve... Are there any with a longer valve? Conversely I guess I could just go short, and run a short extender but was just wondering if there were some long valves latex tubes around?

I run both Vredestein and Vittoria latex tubes in two different wheel sets. The Vittoria 51mm long. The vredestein is about 5mm longer installed on the same wheel and tire. Hope that helps. On a side note, I haven't actually seen Michelin green latex tubes in a long time. The Vredestein tube are available at Fairwheel bikes online.
