It is a thing I assure you - I knew someone who not only took them off but spent a fair while on a ride telling me they were just not needed. He was a bit of a poseur, but then no great surprise there.
They are not needed. Some brands of tube actually come with an unthreaded valve stem, and the main use for the cap is to protect the tube when rolled up. Of course, don't add extra weight by using tubes with valves too long for your rims :okay:

Yes I know -I bought one or two by mistake - a right pain trying to get the pump to secure on the valve.

Those washers are also great for raising a bottle cage over the mount of many bottom swing mechs.

Have also heard that they can serve as penile rings for weight weenie racers.

A/ Take one leaflet.

B/ Add a letterbox.

Push A through B, extending fingers as you do so.

C/ Find bastard dog on other side of door.

Spend night in hospital and half hour on operating table in the morning having what's left of left index finger sealed up. Emerge from said hospital a whole half inch of finger lighter.

That's what I did yesterday anyway :cry::wacko: :headshake:

Is taking things a bit too far something you are known for ? ! GWS !

Ouch!

There is a guy round here whom I have seen several times delivering leaflets. I assume he does it as a part time job, rather than just as a one-off. He uses a bit of wood, about the size of a ruler, to push leaflets through letterboxes. At each house, he folds the leaflet over the end of the stick and uses that to push the leaflet through the letterbox. Perhaps he had a similar bad experience in the past?
