Valve dust caps

There is a third way for all the fashionistas, Schwalbe tubes come with transparent dust caps

I got some free inner-tubes with my tyres (michelin inner-tubes). No lockring, and no thread on the valve stem if I wanted to use the lockring off the old inner-tube! Total mare to inflate as every time I push the pump onto the valve it disappears into the tyre somewhere!

I'm determined to use them though purely because they were free!

Never used them for 30 years, MTB, cross, road.
I struggle to see what crap they keep out; it's not exactly a big area for problems to build up.
Bit of a Fred detector IMO.

They don't make Celeste valve caps so I won't have them on the Infinito.

valve caps are a bit like mudguards. Pointless, unless you are the sort of person who gets all whiny if there's a bit of water.

Don't use them but then I am someone that uses tubs with latex tubes so it's unlikely my valves will glue themselves shut since it have to pump them up every morning and bin them after 6 months when the tubs are bald.

That 0.5g saving I'd the real reason tubs are better

Depends where ur riding, my road bike doesn't have em don't see a need, when I had a track bike didn't have em, my cross bike definitely has the to keep all the crud out, if I had an MTB would have em, horses for courses so to speak

I reckon I had more problems with corroded/jammed valves when I used them than I've had since I saw the light and ditched them (and the collar nut). no need for either. Not about looking pro or saving weight, just cba putting them on!
