Seems to be a problem that has escaped me. Maybe its because I use tubes from the same manufacturer as the wheels. And they're not any more expensive than other tubes.

Update:
- I tried the Bikeman Carver Bdop decals, but they seemed to be new old stock as the adhesive couldn't keep them in place. They end up lifting after a couple of hours. Eventually, dirt and dust would unstick these completely.
- The Specialized/Roval decals are staying in place, but the valve hole is cut 1mm too small. The decals themselves are clear with a gloss black decorative film. Since the valve holes are a bit too small, it's causing the gloss black decorative film to de-laminate from the clear decal. They continue to work though. It just looks a little crap.
Getting stickers right is hard apparently.

Formerly referred to as helicopter blade/leading edge wing tape, ISC Helicopter-OG Surface Guard Tape is an extremely durable and conformable polyurethane tape. ... This high-performance tape also protects against temperature extremes, UV light and automotive solvents.

You could always buy the newer Cannondale tubes that wrap the valve stem in rubberized material like so:

Isn't it strange how such a small thing can become such an annoyance?
We stopped selling our Valvinators as the part was $1.99USD but the shipping was $15.00USD. It was fine if they were part of a larger order but selling just one Valvinator became just silly.
If you really get stuck I think we still have some in a bin.
