I think the valve extenders are a total pain.  LBS does not carry 80 mm tubes- anyone have a good website to get a few?

Providing you use them correctly, valve extenders are no different than not using them. One tip, I use teflon tape on the threads before I install them, and I really tighten them down with a wrench. If you do this, I have found no downside to using them, and they actually seem easier, as I don't have to mess around with the little screw valve.

If you need to deflate them, use a little allen wrench down in the extender hole.
