Product Information

Full details

The Apico Silicone Push On Trials Valve Caps are designed for off-road motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly trials riders, who need to quickly and easily check tyre pressures without fumbling with traditional caps. The key benefit is rapid access to the valve stem, saving valuable time during competition or trail riding. A potential caveat is their specific push-on design, which may not be compatible with all valve types or may require a snug fit. This set includes two black silicone caps engineered for fast removal and replacement, ensuring your valve stems remain protected when not in use.

FAQs

How many valve caps are included in a set?

Each set includes two (2) silicone push-on valve caps.

What material are the valve caps made of?

The valve caps are made from durable and flexible silicone.

Are these valve caps suitable for all types of vehicles?

They are primarily designed for motorcycle valve stems, particularly in trials applications. Compatibility with other valve types should be verified.

How do I attach the valve caps?

Simply push the silicone cap directly onto the valve stem until it is securely in place.

Can I use these caps for long-term storage?

While they protect against dust and dirt, they are optimized for quick access. For long-term storage where an airtight seal is critical, you might consider valve stem caps with screw-on threads.

How do I clean the valve caps?

You can wash them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.

What is the main advantage of these caps over standard caps?

Their main advantage is the speed at which they can be removed and replaced, facilitating rapid tyre pressure checks without tools.

Troubleshooting

Valve cap is too loose and falls off.

Ensure the valve stem is clean and free from debris. The cap may not be compatible with your specific valve stem. Consider alternative caps if this persists.

Valve cap is too tight and difficult to remove.

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the inside of the cap or the valve stem. Ensure you are pulling the cap directly off, not twisting.

Cap is not sealing properly.

Check the valve stem for damage or wear. Ensure the cap is fully seated on the stem. These caps are primarily for dust protection and quick access, not airtight sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These valve caps are designed for a simple push-on application. Ensure the valve stem is clean and dry before fitting. Press the cap firmly onto the valve stem until it feels secure.

Compatibility: These caps are intended for standard motorcycle valve stems. They may not be compatible with oversized or unusually shaped valve stems. Always test the fit on your specific valve type before relying on them.

Care: To clean, simply remove the caps and wash them with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reattaching. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the silicone.
