I've got a Topeak extender, and you have to remove the extender, unscrew the valve, screw the extender back on, and inflate the tire. A pita if you had to do this constantly. But a web search turned up another kinds of valve extender made by Vittoria (other brands available too) where you remove the original valve core, screw on the extender, and then re-install the valve core. So it would work like a normal valve in daily useage, but you need removable-core tubes. You'd need to install this (with a special tool) on your wheels and on your spare tubes, or carry a Topeak extender for the spares.
