Product Information
Full details
The Bontrager Presta Valve Extender is an essential accessory for cyclists using deep-section rims, such as the Aeolus series, who need to reach their valve through deeper wheel profiles. It provides the necessary reach to inflate tires easily, ensuring a reliable seal and consistent tire pressure. The primary caveat for users is that this extender is strictly compatible only with inner tubes or tubular tires that feature a removable Presta valve core.

FAQs
Can I use this with non-Bontrager wheels?
Yes, it is compatible with any deep-section rim that requires a Presta valve extension, provided the valve core is removable.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
You will need a valve core removal tool to take the core out of your tube and to tighten the core back into the extender.
Will this work with sealant-filled tubes?
Yes, but ensure no sealant blocks the threads before reinstalling the valve core.
What is the primary benefit of the 60mm length?
The 60mm length is ideal for deeper rim profiles where a standard valve stem would be too short to protrude for pump attachment.
Is this extender permanent?
It is designed to stay on the tube, but it can be removed if you switch to a different wheel set or tube type.
Troubleshooting
Air leaking during inflation
Ensure the extender is tightened securely onto the valve stem base and that the valve core is properly seated inside the extender.
Unable to screw extender onto valve stem
Verify that your inner tube or tire has a removable valve core; this product will not attach to fixed-core valve stems.
Valve core won't fit into extender
Check that the valve core is clean of dried sealant or debris that might be preventing a clean fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your tire is fully deflated. Use a valve core removal tool to carefully extract the core from your tube. Thread the 60mm extender onto the valve stem base, ensuring it is tightened securely to prevent air loss. Once the extender is firmly attached, reinstall the valve core into the new opening. Periodically check that the extender has not loosened due to vibration or repeated pumping. Keep the threads clean and free of debris to maintain a perfect seal during your rides.
