Scott Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Happens all the time mate. The valve caps fit bmx valves just dandy and to score 4 of them means a couple of quid for fags when they sell them to their mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'd always stick to standard black plastic. Too many people I know have had decent ones nicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got stuck to make matters worse it was on my BBS rims with alloy valves, now i have big black rubber valves because no one had the alloy valves.

Swampy442 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Know the feeling, chavvy scum stole some chrome ones off my car, its annoying aint it? Could have been worse though, could have been your wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I brought them spanner tightening ones but some kid tried too hard to take them off & damaged the valve which leaked air & caused my tyre to be flat. As I was away working that week when I returned the tyre sidewall was damaged from sitting flat, so I had to replace a £150 tyre which had only covered 500 miles! Stick with the cheap plastic ones.

Guest ugp Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The dual zone proximity on my alarm stopped that I also got some with a capacitor inside which gives a lovely jolt if touched with bare hands, just dont forget when going to check tyre pressures!

hogmaw Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Been there many times myself. Now I have the ones that need a little tool to remove them which you keep in the glovebox. Without the tool they just spin round and round. Had them several years now, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
