What size valve stem do I need ? Please help fast

[SteCenturion]

Hi folks.

First time posting in this section & could do with your help as I have some tubes in my basket.

My wheels are Easton EA50 Aero (30mm), American Classic Aero 3 (34mm) & Easton EC70 SL (42mm) & I have 42mm & 60mm Conti tubes in my basket.

Question is this/these,

1. Will the 42mm valve Conti valve stems fit my EA50's &/or AC Aero 3's ?

2. Will the 60mm Conti valve stems fit my EC70 SL with 42mm depth ?

3. Anybody used bikediscount.de ? & if so had any probs ?

For 30mm you need at least 48mm valves. so the 60s will do the job for the 43mm rims

Yep was Fossy said 60's would be the best option.

Cheers Fossy & Hacienda,
didn't want to make yet another expensive mistake.

Conti don't seem to do a 48mm valve stem length so will have to be 60's for everything.

50mm then. I find anything under 48mm is a pain with 30mm rims. I use 42mm on 25mm deep rins.

I tend to use 60mm by default. I don't have any rims which are deep enough to require anything longer, and 60mm doesn't cause any problems with even the 25mm section rims.
