These Continental inner tubes do not have a replacable valve core, so
that is it for the new inner tube.

You could probably shake the loose bit around until it fell back into
place, then hold the stem so it didn't dislodge until it was held in by
pressure - a bit like those puzzles where you have to get all the ball
bearings in the little dents. :-)

I know the type of puzzle - used to be good at those.

I had the tyre up to pressure, so the remainder of the valve stem
should have been held by the pressure anyway, but it didn't want to
work that way :| I'll have to look at it tonight.
