I'd avoid using meta ones tbh. Most of the time they are a complete git to get off.

^^ I was thinking the same cat, but she asked and I provided like the nice, friendly person that I am.

Women in need and all that.

Just put vaseline on the outside and inside thread.

Come off no problem after time.

Tyre place years ago told me they were a bad idea as they corrode.

My mate bought some metal anti-theft / tyre deflation ones for his old motor as he used to park the car in a dodgy public area during work times and was always getting his valves and caps messed with.

Iv'e had two sets of metal caps for mine. All been nicked :dapprove:

Then I tried a pair of locking caps.

I wouldn't buy any more of those either. You need the special key to undo them. Not a problem as such, but I recall several times thinking.... hmm I must check the tyres - but just couldn't be bothered

Now back to cheapo plastic type :approve:

Anyone else find that ironic?

Just get normal plastic ones. They will only get stolen by chavs anyway.

Ask the company you bought your wheels off. You can get really stubby valves for cheap. Dont be mistaken for high pressure valves as they are really expensive.
