    At least the hoodlums will be easy to catch when they accidentally remove their valve cores.

    Most bike shops have the Park tool version for sale which services both. Bike shops see plenty of both types all day long come through the service door. Should be $10ish for the Park one

    I was being sarcastic… I have a 1-up rack, an "enduro" bike and a full bicycle maintenance tool set/shop setup.

    They do make some really nice wall art that you don't want to use for fear of nicking the anodized titanium…

    After 3 pages I'm a little disappointed we didn't get pictures of the skull caps on the truck.

    Uber? Well that just quadrupled the price. Do you drive for them?

    As stated change the tire take it to a shop. If you bought the tires from a shop go to that shop. Most will take care of it. They want repeat business.

    Kudos to you OP! You humbly shared this story with us and took this little one time lapse in judgment like a man! You learned something, we got a little laugh out of it and you got yourself one awesome $80 dollar story! :)

    Problems was you cheaped out on the quality of the skull. You should have gone gold or bronze at minimum.

    Don't forget if you add a lowercase 'i' to the front of a word, like iTool. Ex: the park tool is only $10, but the iTool costs $50.

    Didn't read the whole thread. Were the caps metal? That's a big no-no on sensors. They seize on the stem and damage the sensor.

    Only use plastic caps on TPM sensors. Save the toys for rubber stems
