Schader tubes are all the same as far as I know. Deep V rims are all drilled Presta. Sometimes the rim strip hole is so snug around the valve that it doesn't pull all the way to the rim easily. If a rubber rimstrip, you can pull the rimstrip away from the rim, push it all the way over the valve, and then insert the valve with rimstrip into the rim hole.
Oil is good, grease is better.
