The local kids will be well chuffed with them when they get them on their bikes!

Nice though!

Water in threads = rust = a t**t to get off.

they are nice but Sirfozzalot is correct, unless you live in a very nice area. They are lockable with the grub screw but if the kids can't remove them they'll just cut the tyre valves off

If they can't remove them won't it encourage them to cut your tyre valves off. This has happened to one of my friends before when the kids couldn't remove them.

Had a set of the Prodrive ones that cost me £14.95 from the irish Subaru place (crap service).

Had 'em on for 14 months (lockable) and were never touched. However the local sh1tes know I don't make idle threat so generally left my car alone.
