NoLoss - Captive valve tyre cap?

Why not just buy them from Roverworx

They work out at about 10 quid with a couple of dollars for postage probabily

Help him with his 101 fund !

why not get they cute ones with a pressure gauge built in?

they supply locknuts and ickle spanners to help prevent 'em falling off or being nicked.

got a bunch for the 2 discos here.

Yebut... Will Charlotte remember to put the feckerz back on?

The NoLoss ones are attached to the valve :-)

I already have. That wasn't the real point of my posting.

I was thinking that I'd never seen them, and as they appear to be the muts-nuts, thought this odd.

true. The tyre monitor ones are dead cute though. and showed up a leaky rim on mother's (not you) disco, on which the tyre wasn't sealing - after about a week, the thing went yellow, and after about another week, it went red.

Ah - could be handy for Charlottes Disco (Tim, did you say you'd had it looked at?). NSF is losing shedloads of air. Odd actually as Grumble is losing a lot from the same, NSF wheel... P'raps they're both members of the same Union ;-)

hehe. 'course, you still have to fix the leak. But these modern tyres we have now can look pretty much normal yet still be down at least 5lb over what you wanted 'em to be, 10lb on some, without being noticeably "soft".

I bet the kids here would manage to get them off even with the locknut thingys!

probably - the locknuts aren't proof against, for example, pliers. however, you can't just twiddle them undone with fingers once they're locked.

Yep, it had it checked twice and apparently it isn't leaking. I think it's probably worth having it off the rim and refitted with a new valve.

As for tyre monitors, have you looked at

I'd like them on the 101, but as they are competitors I'd be shot at dawn...
