I can vouch for that. My wheels aren't super deep V's...but they are deep enough that a regular stem will NOT work at all. It's a pain, but since I always have to carry my own tubes anyway (650's), I just make sure to always buy long stem ones.

I'm at a loss for my new wheels though. They will have the same rims as my other bike, but these are for my bike with the smaller front wheel. I cannot, for the life of me, find 24x1 tubes with long stems. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if I have the same problem with regular stems that I had on my other bike.

Deb - so those valve extenders are only a temporary solution? Do they make a more permanent version?
