Schwalbe AV17 Extra Long 60mm Schrader
Schwalbe AV17 Extra Long 60mm Schrader is framed as the high-quality, puncture-conscious option tailored to deeper rims that need a reliable 60mm valve without adding excessive weight. Schwalbe’s reputation for thicker rubber and anti-puncture focus gives it a technical advantage over basic budget tubes like Sunlite and Kenda, while matching Continental on valve length but often edging it on robustness for daily and touring use. It sits in the upper-mid market for riders who want extra protection and consistent performance on deep rims without moving to the longest, heaviest CST 80mm choice.
