Is there some kind of valve extension to enable pro core fitment in deep section rims?

A linky or recommendation would be great thanks

I don't know the pro core arrangement but you can by valve extenders, I have some continentals I bought from wiggle for my road 50's and they are superb. You just remove the original valve core, screw on the extension and screw back the valve core into the top.

The way it works you could fit the type of extender that fits in place of the valve core, if fitted tightly (maybe loctite) then you could rotate that to turn the lower part of the valve. Just need to be sure it's fitted securely and be careful in use.

I asked the same question directly to Schwalbe, they said they were working on a solution. That was back in Jan.
