It's a trivial thing, but during a no-choice dealer tire change they lost one of the metal caps from my 90-degree valve stem. I've found several fat versions at automotive stores, but nothing metal and light, similar to the original ones.

Anybody know of a source for metal valve stem caps that more-or-less match the stems sold by Jeff at BikeEffects???

 
Haulin', if you don't find one soon, I'll get one for yah from WFO. Shhhh, just don't tell anyone! :unsure: :rolleyes:

Wally world sells some in a cheap little tire accessory kit in the automotive section that are a close match.

 
I'll try Wally World first, then prey upon the kindness of Don if not successful.

Thanks everyone!

 
I lost one last year and used the plastic silver ones at Wallyworld mentioned by bmwhd. It was a very close match. I had emailed Jeff at Bikeeffects but it would take buying a new set of stems to replace the cap. I put the original one up front and the replacement on the rear tire, which is less noticeable. Nobody notices except me.

 
Ashe, what do the caps look like? I have one that came off of a 90 degree stem, and wonder if it's what you're looking for. I'll try to locate it and get a photo.

If he doesn't have one let me know - I've got one that came off of some Euro car that is almost the same, just a bit shorter.

 
I appreciate all the helpful tips on how to cap myself off.

:)

Still haven't gone to WallyWorld. I HATE that place!
