Default Dropped valve extender into Hed Deep wheel

Doh! While trying to screw an extender onto the valve, I accidentally
dropped it into my Hed Deep race wheel. Now it's rattling around in the
carbon fairing on the inside of the rim. I can't be the only clumsy guy
who has done this. Anybody have any tips on getting it out?

Thanks!
Manny

Did you try a powerful magnet?

Thanks for the suggestion. A magnet was the first thing I tried.
Unfortunately, the valve extender is aluminum, so that didn't work. :-(

Try to catch it with a spoke - it's long enough, plus it's thin enough to
fit inside the extender.
