exactly, my alloys came with alloy valves with strange caps, they were stole in a week, funny thing is they wont even fit on normal valves like on bikes so they prob just threw them anyways...

annoying thing is i now have to just basically jam on the plastic ones as normal valve caps dont fit on my valves GRRRRR

Thieving SCUM!!

I has this problem on my BMX. :o. Used a 10 mm spanner and put it round the dustcap. Then held the valve with pliers It came off after gently moving the spanner backwards and forwards :thumbs:

i had same problem, put wd40 on it let it soak then used 2 pairs of pliers to get em off, looks like the caps had corroded and bonded themselves to the valve guess i was lucky and caught it in time
