Is anyone else having trouble with the 808 Clincher valvestems? I can't get a good seal for the extension, therefor my tire pressure is inadequate.I tried plumbers tape. Is there a tube made with a really long stem that would avoid the extension?

you can sometimes find tubes with removable valve stems, and then add an extension. You remove the valve from the stem, add extension and replace valve back into the extension. I did this with Zip 404s but you can even stack the extensions if you want for 808. Hardest part is to find the tubes with removable valves. good luck

Im pretty sure you can get tubes with valve stems long enough to use with the 808s.
