Rims that deep are often tubulars and most tubular tires have a removable core to put a valve extender on them.

Speaking of valve extenders, tubes that are compatible with them can be quickly deflated by unscrewing the presta valve. I learned this randomly after using a tube for my sram s80's and forgot to tighten the presta valve, only to have the tube deflate after removing the pump nozzle. If you guys are wondering, wheels that need a valve extender usually come with them when you buy them new.

You misread, I was not using it with an extender. I should've also mentioned presta valve core.... just found the right word; and probably that I was using those kinds of tubes instead of normal tubes with the supplied extender from sram.

Anyway I would trade both my road bikes and whatever else to own a Crown Jewel, seriously.
