Someone school me on tubular valve stems?
Well, I just bought a nice 2nd hand set pf Zipp 909's and I don't know how to put air in that weird lookin valve stem. Also; where can i get that thin piece of plastic that covers the milled out window for the rear disc? Thanks

It's called a presta valve.
You need a pump with a presta head.
you could also get a presta/schrader adaptor.
Best would be to check out what sheldon brown has to say.

Let me get this straight.... you're signature line says:
99 Litespeed Ultimate
00 P2 Cervelo TT
Both Full Shimano Dura-Ace Carbon tricked
and you've never used presta valves? Seems odd to me.

I don't think he's talkin about the presta valve...
Are you reffering to the valve extender that goes on top of the standard or extra length presta to accommodate the super deep rims?
And there is an adpater that you can buy from trisports that will let you get to that valve that sits in the disc wheel.

What you describe is just an extender that the manufacturers sell to use with deeeep profile rims. It screws right to the top of a presta valve, just leave the presta open and screw the extender on top, put clamp the standard presta pump to it and pump away. That's what's worked for me...
