Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these extensions compatible with all Presta valves?

They are compatible with any inner tube that has a removable valve core. Make sure your valve core is removable before installation.

Do I need any tools to install these extensions?

A tool is included for valve core and extension removal/installation.

How do I prevent air leaks?

Ensure the extension is securely screwed onto the valve stem. Use Teflon tape for added security.

What if the rubber seals wear out?

You may need to replace the extensions if the seals are damaged or worn. In the meantime, using Teflon tape can help provide a temporary seal.

Can I use these extensions with a CO2 inflator?

Yes, these extensions work with CO2 inflators, provided the inflator head fits the Presta valve.

How long do the extensions last?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. Regularly inspect the extensions for damage. Replace if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Air leaking from the valve

Ensure the extension is tightly screwed onto the valve stem. Check the rubber seal and consider adding Teflon tape to the threads for a better seal.

Difficulty inflating the tire

Make sure the valve core is fully open. Check for any obstructions in the valve or extension. Use a pump head designed for Presta valves.

Extension is loose

Tighten the extension firmly onto the valve stem. Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: These extensions work with Continental tubular tires or any inner tube that has a replaceable valve core. Ensure your valve core is removable before installation.
  2. Installation: Unscrew your existing valve core using the included tool or a valve core tool. Screw the extension onto the valve stem. Reinstall the valve core.
  3. Sealing: The provided rubber seals help to create an airtight seal. For added security, wrap the threads with Teflon tape before screwing in the extension.
  4. Care: Regularly check the extensions for any signs of damage or wear. Inspect the rubber seals for any cracks. Clean the valve stem area to remove dirt and debris.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store the extensions in a clean, dry place to prevent damage.
