Zipp Tangente Valve Extenders

No, these are specifically designed for use with Presta tubes that feature a removable valve core. You will need to unscrew the core from your tube, install the extender, and then thread the core back into the top of the extender.

The knurled texture provides a textured surface that helps your pump head grip securely. This prevents the pump from slipping off while you are inflating your tires, which is especially helpful when you are working with the limited space of a deep-rim wheel.

Each unit includes a dedicated valve wrench, which is all you need to properly tighten the extender onto your tube. The barrel also features a 3mm hex broach, allowing you to use a standard hex key for an extra-secure, leak-free seal.

You should choose an extender length that leaves at least 15mm to 20mm of the valve protruding from your rim. This ensures you have enough clearance to easily attach your pump head without hitting the rim surface.

When installed correctly using the included wrench or a 3mm hex key, these create a very reliable seal. The integrated air seal is designed to prevent pressure loss, provided the threads are tightened firmly against the tube valve.
