I have to use valve extenders for my wheels and there are some rattling. Any good way to eliminate that? Lock ring doesn't work with extenders.

Black electrical tape. Put the tape over the valve,poke a hole and tape the rim.

A thin wrap of vinyl around the valve extender where it exits the rim valve hole was the answer to my rattles.

As mentioned, a piece of black electrical tape will resolve this and is nearly invisible.

Small rubber o-ring works well

They do tend to slide over time but easy to push back in place or remove when changing tubes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try the tape first. If not effective then shrink wrap.
