Had loads of these nicked (NOT THE MENTIONED ONES THOUGH), i now refuse to fit them to my car have standard black plastic ones instead:( Found out it was local kids nicking them to use on there bikes, little sh1ts.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Just today I realised that some paperboy (probably) had stolen one of my silver valve caps, so I went to swap the other 3 for black plastic ones.

As I did so, I found that they were stuck fast.

Took me about an hour to get them off, whilst risking injury/expense manipulating the rubber valve!!

Surely the manufacturers of these caps must realise that they contract whilst on the valve and the combination of metals is not a good thing!

Wonder if I could sue them for 4 new valves! ;)

clicky
:D

I have just ordered a set of them, hope they last more that the 1 week my last nice set did (they weren't spin caps).

After loosing a few sets of valve caps, Ive now tightened mine with a pair of plyers.
There way to tight to remove by hand.
I havent lost any for 3 months so it seems to be working and its free!!!!!

Only down side is you need a pair of plyers to remove the caps when checking your tyre pressures.

I put some anti theft caps on my car after my first set got knicked. Had some cheeky little cnut come up to me and say "why can't my mate get your valve caps off?" I just said I dunno.

how about these
