The tube material aside the Race 28's I've had have removal valve cores which can be unscrewed by certain types of pump. There is nothing more frustrating than getting a puncture at the side of the road then having your pump release all the air (and the valve core) once you've spent ages pumping it up to the required pressure, leaving you back at square one.
Get Vittoria Ultralites.

Pro-tip: press the little black button on the hose to release the pressure between the core and the hose. Hey-presto: no more unwanted valve-core extraction.

I had the same issue as well, but when I got the valve extender for my 90mm track wheels, it came with small tighten piece that prevent cap coming off.
With the quick search for Vittoria Ultralites, I've only found 51mm valve which isn't enough atm and for this bike I rather don't want the hassle to have the valve extender.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, will have to sleep on to see which one I will go for,
but kind of siding for the Race28 Light just atm because of the puncture aspect and roads in this country isn't perfect, plus I can get a 80mm value whilst the supersonic I will need to get an extender as I will struggle with getting my lezyne pump screw cap on.
In other news, my wheelset are here and wanted to get the wheels with tyres on, but I failed on getting any 18mm rim tape from Condor cycles or Evans, so I had t order and wait till the weekend to see how rad these bad boys will look on the new frame.
