I've been doing this for years, albeit inadvertently. Wore out a rim, rebuilt the wheel with a new one, and didn't notice the new rim was drilled for Shrader. If I'd noticed, I'd have put on a rubber bushing, or cut a hole in the middle of a 1" square of old inner tube. But it's working fine, so if it ain't broke, why fix it?
