There is some off chance that the pumps in my garage and on my bike as well as my CO2 inflator don't require as much stem as whatever you're using, but I think you'll be fine.
Yeah, I found out the hard way the amount of exposed valve that was just enough for my floor pump was
not quite enough for the Co2 inflator.
Whoooooosh! Hey! Wtf! That didn't work. Must be me.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better. (thanks, b)
Second try. Whoooooosh! What the...?!?
Damn. No more cartridges. Gotta use the mini-pump. (cue image: monkey ********* a football)
Not a lesson I expected to get riding in the canyon to meet friends on a very dark and very cold winter morning. Made it, just barely.
That little extra dork-sauce added by an extra 12mm of stem per wheel isn't going to rock anybody's world off it axis, compared to what happens when your stuff doesn't work when you need it to.
