Those extenders sound interesting. Obviously, I don't want to deal with that kind of hassle all the time. I think what I'll do is pick up one regular length stem and see how it fits. If it's obvious that it would cause an issue, then I'll stick with the longer valve stems. I was just curious if anyone else had given it a try, especially any other Dolce owners. Thanks for all the help, once again I learn something from the TE ladies
