Valve cap thief with a heart

Was checking pressures on my tires in a clockwise fashion, starting from left front and as i moved to the rear tires the caps felt different.

 

i couldn't figure out what was wrong but upon inspection the rear caps were still silver, but they were hexagonal. in fact i think now they are stainless steel. (my originals were round chrome.)

 

damn. weird ass. must be a cyclist who took my caps and replaced them with his.

My tyre caps was stolen far too many times, I then replaced it with black plastic steel rims type of caps.

Just it case... then I got a packet of (40 tyre caps).

 

End up ??? The black plastic caps was not even touched for loooooooooooooooong time. -_-

 

Wasted $ on the 40 sliver tyre caps.

it should not be stolen but got exchanged when u do your tyre rotation during servicing. especially so, if you do it a typical tyre shop. Or if you just changed your tyres.

 

if u notice how they do, they normally unscrewed it and put the cap in a box that is full of 'different caps' , when they put it back, they just randomly pick one and put it back.

 

i have got my share of mixed caps, tarnished caps, or one that has gone totally missing <_<

i dont think it was exchanged. my tires have not been changed whatsoever for about a year already. all the while i check tyre pressure myself - last checked 2-3 mths ago and im sure the caps were identical.

 

weird thief. :blink:

Yes, likely are those ginnas.

Wahaha. [laugh]

 

As long it does the job, keep the tyre valve from dust, sliver or black no problem for me. In fact, I find those blue, red, amber tyre caps super eye sore. Sliver / Black most discreet, neat look.
