So if we're talking about valve extenders making life easier, how come so many riders end up with a flat because they went cheap? Isn't that just asking for trouble? You grab a low-cost extender, and suddenly you’re stuck on the side of the road, cursing the day you thought that was a good idea. These things can be a total gamble. If they’re not built to withstand the pressure or even just normal wear, what’s the point? Let's be real, is there any real data showing these things hold up in tough conditions? Some folks swear by them, but how many are just riding a trend instead of focusing on what actually makes sense for their setup? It’s wild that a simple metal tube can be seen as a game changer. Is it worth the risk to chase a so-called performance boost? Seems more like a ploy to fill pockets than a legit cycling upgrade.
