Funky valve/dust caps
-
Is this a stupid idea? I've taken it off now thinking maybe the extra 1-2g on one side of the wheel might unbalance it. Drive a car with unbalanced wheels and you sure feel it.
-
As an aside, are there shorter valves you can get? I believe mine is TR412 which is pretty stumpy but from my modified car days I can remember people having concealed valves so their mirror polished split rims looked their best.

I put Harley valve caps on all my boards for good luck, but I never really saw any difference.

@cloud You need a "gremlin bell " in addition to the Harley valve cover.

@theadman
I had one just like that (though it was a smiley face) and never noticed any balance issues. And that's including the troubleshooting of two defective Enduros.Only swapped it out because I fumbled the spherical shape a few times too many at the trailhead and got frustrated. The cheapo plastic ones just seem faster/easier to deal with.

@lemur For some reason I feel like that would be unsafe on a one-wheel. But I would never fall.
