Tyre Pressure Valve Cap's stolen :( - Page 3

JONNYPLEE · 8th April 2008, 15:38

Think yourselfs lucky, i came home last week from a trip to New York and found my centre hub caps for my storm alloys missing, apart from the offside rear which was half hanging out and the honda H was half missing from it ! but what i cant get is what use are they to them, i can understand fancy shiny covers they can put on their bmx's, but since when do bikes have hub caps on ??? ringing dealer soon to see how much this will cost me.

So, which designs (including Storm) have removable (therefore scumbag steal-able

) center discs so I can remove them from my list of wheel options?

all four centre caps (painted "h") can be removed if needed in less than 30 seconds, with no damage to the caps or wheels, so you would have to be very quick to catch someone nicking them, and these are worth far more than valve caps.

So the options are -
1) Take them off and put them in your pocket every time you get out of the car.
Or
2) Get the strongest clear glue you can find and get your wheels/discs damaged when the Clever Boys try to get them off.

There are some lessons to be learnt from those the liberals call barbarians.
Would chopping their hands off be a first offence (zero tolerance) automatic punishment or a three-strikes-and-your-out last resort?
The good guys are at a disadvantage and things can only get worse.

Or option 3). Shoot the little beggars. (I always prefer option three).

The top link, are the ones I bought and posted a photo of .
Paid £11.99p for them from an ebayer in the U.K.
The little key to lock the grub screws, isn't an ordinary allen key, more like a cog in section. I tried undoing the grubs, using my own allen keys & clockmakers screwdrivers. Couldn't undo them.
