I've found these of limited use. First, they don't seem to be necessary - putting a Presta tube into a rim drilled for Schraeder seems to work fine, at least it has for me every time I've done it, and that's quite a few times now. Second, the grommets seem loathe to remain in place very long, at least for me.
