Tangente Knurled Valve Extender Kit

The Tangente product line from Zipp is designed for high-performance cycling, focusing on precision engineering and advanced materials. These components, such as wheels and tires, are crafted to improve aerodynamics, reduce weight, and enhance overall performance, making them ideal for competitive cyclists and enthusiasts looking to elevate their ride.

Knurled valve extenders feature a textured surface with small ridges that provide a better grip, making it easier to handle when inflating your tires. This design helps ensure a secure connection to the valve, reducing the risk of air leakage and making tire inflation more efficient, especially for deep-rimmed wheels.

Valve extenders are used to extend the reach of your bike's valve, allowing for easier access when inflating tires, particularly those with deep rims. If you have wheels that are designed with a deeper profile, valve extenders make it much simpler to pump air into your tires without struggling to reach the valve.

Core removers are specialized tools that allow you to easily remove the valve core from a Presta valve. This is useful for various maintenance tasks, such as adding sealant to tubeless tires or repairing leaks. Having a core remover on hand can simplify your tire maintenance routine and help you keep your bike in top condition.

A Presta valve is a type of valve commonly found on high-performance bicycles, particularly road bikes and some mountain bikes. It is narrower than the more common Schrader valve and is designed to hold higher pressures. Presta valves require a specific pump head or adapter for inflation, making it important for cyclists to understand their valve type for effective tire maintenance.

Valve extenders are specifically designed for Presta valves, which are commonly used in high-performance cycling. If your bike has Presta valves, you can use valve extenders to make tire inflation easier. However, they are not compatible with Schrader valves, so it's essential to check your valve type before purchasing.
