## Questions & Answers

**Q: The picture states "long valve", but there is no indication of the valve length. Please could you specify? Thank you.**
A: They're not long. Didn't actually measure them before I fitted them. But in my 50mm deep rims they don't quite get out of the rim, so I'm using valve extenders. So I reckon they're around 46mm

**Q: Are they suitable for 700 x25 tyres**
A: Yes. Although the valve cores can’t be unscrewed so you can’t use valve extenders for deep section rims.

**Q: Is the valve core removable on this inner tube?**
A: Yes

**Q: It says no suitable for carbon wheels on packaging, is this due to rim brakes and heating or also related to disc brakes use?**
A: I'm not certain but think due to rim brakes and heat. Great tubes thou just go carefully installing

These are the best tubes you can buy in my humble opinion and prehaps the lightest too. .

    Excellent tube but soft as a baby's !
  

*by L***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2021*

Firstly Amazon's description etc for these is messy!They come in 3 valve lengths, you just select the one you want from the pictures rather than drop down. I use 60mm on my racing zero's.Secondly they are as soft as anything & a nightmare to fit without pinching on hooked rims & it's an expensive pain when you do that..grrr!!They are totally fine for carbon rims with disc brake set up's as there is obviously no heat build up.I have friends who run these on carbon rim brakes without issue but may be worth bearing in mind but i would said you'd need a very long braking time to have such a heat build up.And remember if you do puncture out on a ride you cannot change to another latex tube if inflating with CO2 as it does not inflate, change to a standard tube then just swap back when you get home of course you can use a hand pump. Someone smarter than me can explain the science but latex tubes don't like CO2 & don't inflate properly.And these gently go soft when sitting at home as latex material allows the air to leak out so check your pressure roughly once a week before you head out.

Do not go by the questions and answers...these do not have a removable valve core.
