How Does the Problem Solvers Valve Extender Work?

The Problem Solvers Presta Valve Extender makes it possible to use standard-length valves on deep-section rims without sourcing specialty tubes or tubeless valves. The basic extender design works by leaving your tube's valve core unscrewed and threading the extender directly onto the valve stem, effectively extending your reach through the rim bed for easy pump attachment and inflation. At 50mm, this is the go-to length for mid-depth rims in the 35-50mm range.

The black anodized finish pairs cleanly with most rim and valve aesthetics, and the simple thread-on installation takes seconds. Note that this version is designed for use with standard Presta valves where the core stays in place. If your valve features a removable core, the removable-core version of this extender provides a more airtight connection. Ideal for road and gravel riders running mid-depth carbon or aluminum wheels who want a no-fuss solution to the short-valve problem.
