Richbrook Never Lose Valve caps

The talented designers at Richbrook have excelled themselves once again, turning a dull motoring necessity into a stylish accessory, whilst solving one of the great perennial motoring problems. With the firm’s new ‘NEVER LOSE’ Valve Caps (NLVC), you will never again wonder where you left the pesky little blighters, each time you check your tyre pressures.

Several major design features make the NLVC an instant classic. An incredibly tough Teflon tether affixes securely to the tyre’s valve, ensuring that the cap can never be lost. The cap itself is free to spin easily within this tether, and better yet, the pack contains a smart little knurled removal tool to ensure that no matter how much dirt, salt or brake dust is on your rims, you never need to get your hands dirty. Thanks to the precise fit of the tool on the cap, it’s just as easy as doing it directly.

The advantages of having valve caps present on all wheels is well known. Not only do they prevent dirt and water ingress into the delicate valve mechanism, but they can also help to reduce air loss from a defective valve, thanks to their own internal seal. Running a set can help you keep your tyres at their optimum pressure, improving your MPG and levels of safety.

The uses of the NLVC cross many genres of automotive endeavour. Club racers and motorsport enthusiasts, who need to check their pressures regularly and quickly can do so, knowing that the cap will never be lost, whilst caravan and motorhome owners can do an on-site check, without the cap disappearing into the grass or gravel. And for the rest of us, the mere convenience of the NLVC makes you wonder why no-one has ever thought of it before.

Naturally, hailing from the meisters of automotive fashion, these Richbrook caps also look far more attractive than the usual insignificant black plastic numbers, so whether you’re looking for style, safety, security – or just good old fashioned ease of use, then a set of ‘NEVER LOSE’ Valve Caps makes a compelling case for itself at just £12.99.

Richbrook products are available from all good retailers and accessory outlets, as well as richbrook-styling.co.uk.
