Product Information

Full details

The Apico Silicone Push On Trials Valve Caps are designed for riders who need to quickly check their tyre pressures during trials events or regular riding. Their primary benefit is enabling rapid removal and replacement, saving valuable time. A potential consideration is that their simple push-on design might not offer the same level of dust protection as screw-on caps. This product includes two yellow silicone valve caps, identified by manufacturer part number AT VC YW.

Troubleshooting

Valve cap is difficult to push on

Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Slightly moisten the inside of the cap with water to help it slide on.

Valve cap feels loose

Push the cap on further to ensure a secure fit. If it remains loose, the cap or valve stem may be damaged or worn. Inspect both for damage.

Valve cap is lost

The bright yellow color is designed for visibility. If lost, search the immediate area. Consider purchasing a spare set if frequent loss is a concern.
