FAQs

What type of valve do these caps fit?

These caps are designed for Schrader valve stems, commonly found on trials motorcycles.

How quickly can I check my tyre pressure with these caps?

The push-on design allows for very rapid removal and replacement, taking only a second or two per cap.

Are these suitable for road motorcycles?

While they fit Schrader valves, they are optimized for the frequent adjustments needed in trials riding. Compatibility with road bike valve stems should be verified.

How do I clean the valve caps?

You can clean them with a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Ensure they are dry before reattaching them to the valve stem.

What material are the valve caps made from?

They are made from durable, flexible silicone.

Can I buy individual valve caps if I lose one?

These are sold as a set of two. If one is lost, you would need to purchase a new set.

What is the manufacturer part number?

The manufacturer part number is AT VC GN.

Troubleshooting

Valve cap feels loose

Ensure the valve stem is clean and dry. Press the cap on more firmly. If the issue persists, the valve stem or cap may be damaged, and replacement might be necessary.

Difficulty removing the cap

Grip the base of the cap firmly and pull straight off. If it's stuck due to dirt, clean around the base before attempting removal again.

Cap is lost

These are small items; keep them in a designated small container or pocket when removed. Purchase a replacement set if lost.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for very quick tyre pressure checks.
  • Durable silicone material.
  • Bright color makes them easy to find.
  • Protects valve stems from dirt and moisture.
  • Simple push-on application and removal.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for trials bikes; may not fit all valve types.
  • Small size means they could be misplaced if not stored carefully.
  • Only available in sets of two, may need to purchase multiple sets for different applications.
  • Silicone can potentially degrade over time with extreme exposure to certain chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These valve caps are designed for a push-on fit. Simply press them firmly onto the valve stem until they feel secure. Ensure the valve stem is clean and dry before fitting for the best seal.

Compatibility:

  • Intended Use: Primarily for Schrader valve stems commonly found on trials motorcycles.
  • Verification: It is recommended to check if your motorcycle's valve stems are compatible with a push-on silicone cap. If you have standard Schrader valves, they should fit.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean with mild soap and water. A damp cloth is usually sufficient.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place when not in use to prevent loss and contamination.
  • Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage to the silicone material.
