Then, and ONLY then, did I remember that I have a pair of valve extenders, from the very first wheelset that came with the Ritchey 25 years ago - the rims were CXP30s.

SO, the wheels are mounted with tires and cassette, derailleur and brakes adjusted, AND... It's night time. NO ride tonight.

Grrrrrr.

I recently bought valve stem extenders and couldn’t get them to go on. After some research realized they were for tubeless. Does that make a difference?
