Thread 2050216

Do you express your personality with custom valve cap covers on your transportatio/n/?
If so, what did you choose?

>>2050216 (OP)
I bought cute lego head caps on etsy for like 20€/pair.
Its literally just a valve cap glued into it.
Never felt so stupid.

>>2050224
some Lego heads are worth more than $20

>>2050216 (OP)
these are pretty cool, but I don't want them on my particular bikes , and $16 is a complete ripoff. but if you had an orange bike or orange accents it might be worth it .

with a drill, some regular valve caps, and the right glue, you can literally make whatever you want into a custom valve cap.

That's a good idea, I'd like to do some little red/white popcorn boxes.

But the popcorn will spill out when you ride.

Yeah, I searched for minature ___ and got lots of "dollhouse food" things that seemed like a good size. I checked the gatchpon machines at the closest Japanese grocery yesterday but didn't find anything I liked.

the model trainfags have all sorts of vehicles and who knows what. I searched for bikes and there's a ton, plus stuff like a person that fell over on her side and a thief, pic rel

I had this exact bike in red but without the pads and the rear brake was a coaster brake because the shop was retarded and put one on there, I think they had to sell it at a discount which would explain why my mom bought that one. she did make them put the front brake on at least.
first bike I ever stripped completely down and rebuilt.

We did this in elementary school but dropped it soon after as its cringe af and your valve caps usually end up stolen

I’m not trying to give anyone any bad ideas. You can pause this video at any time to see the R.

a thread about valve cover caps of all things has been Godwin'd.
great work, everyone.

>>2050876
You'd have to put one on very carefully so that it faces in the correct direction while viewed from the drivetrain side.

When I was a kid we used to ride our bikes around looking for metal valve cap covers on cars to steal and put on our bikes (back then MTBs still had Schrader valves). At some point I got cold feet or maybe developed a conscience and sold my whole collection for a measly €15. Must have had at least 50 of them.

i have a clown horn on my bike. it was free so why not. its louder than a bell. i put it on as a joke at first but everyone that rides my bike likes honking it

These are wavy as fuck

>>2050955
I installed one on my bike and I enjoyed it so much I broke the honker :( Horns hit different, when you ring or ding a bell, people look like you're about to hit them but a clown honker makes people smile and move away

>>2051008
Only if they explode when you remove them without pushing some button first.

>>2051060
I was thinking about getting a bell, but I think you guys have convinced me to buy a clown horn.

>when you ring or ding a bell, people look like you're about to hit them
depends on the bell. a shrill brrrin-brring bell sounds rude but a clear ping bell or a friendly ding-song bell is better received.
