theving little sods

Post by hedgehogharvey »

Just come back from lunch and filling up with petrol when i notice some theving little sods have nicked my bbs valve caps which came with my wheels. they managed to get 3 of them, one they couldnt get off as it was done up very tight.

Were can i get hold of any?

Just had a quick search, only places I could see advertising them were in the USA.

ie. http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/BBS0915063.htm or here http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/prod ... 657bd66d63

Alternatively just try asking places that supply BBS alloys :)

Give Just Matz a call on 08000 851 861 (It's freephone)

They sell BBS wheels and spare bolts for splitties so they might be able to get hold of the valve caps.

When you get them again, use them only for shows... they'll just be stolen again.... I'll never understand the fascination with nicking valve caps... theyre not THAT expensive.

It's kids that are robbing them and putting on their bikes. Either put them locking caps on or just use black plastic ones if you dont want your nice caps to get robbed.
