Tubes for valve extenders

Got some Dalkiia clincher wheels with 60mm deep rims recently and just bought some valve extenders (about 45mm) to go with them. Problem is, no removable valve cores on any of he many tubes I own, so I can't use the extenders.
Am I missing something here, or do I need to buy new inner tubes?
If it's new inner tubes, which can anyone recommend with removable valve cores?
Thanks

Yes you do. I have ust ordered the Vittoria 5 pack from wiggle 51mm valves as these are removable. The shorter versions are not. I found this out on the parker website, not the wiggle one (i had some paypal and wiggley vouchers and they were cheap)0

Is it not possible to leave the valves unscrewed before putting the extenders on?0

I have the same wheels and valve extenders came with the wheels, work ok. I bought som Schwalbe inner tubes from bike24 with xl valves 80mm, so no need for valve extenders, not cheap though.

I have deep section with inner tubes without removeable cores so I bought one of these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Topeak_Presta_Valve_Extender_Extra_Long/5360036958/ it screws onto the existing valve and allows you to use inner tubes with non removeable cores.'Hello to Jason Isaacs'0
