I've sometimes inflated the tube until it's about 6' in diameter and several inches in width - that made the leak much easier to find.

Or - go ahead and use the 80mm stem - much better to have a tube with an 80mm stem that holds air than a tube with the right length that leaks. Edit: I see you did this - good. Now get some spare tubes with the valve length and type you prefer.

Or - pump up the current tube and go ride to the nearest store that'll sell you a tube. There must be a Target/X-Mart/etc. somewhere not too far away.
