Valve Caps FAQs
What are Middleburn valve caps made from?
Middleburn valve caps are precision CNC-machined from high-quality aluminium, offering a perfect blend of durability and lightweight performance. The material choice ensures they resist corrosion, protect the valve core threads, and maintain their finish even after long-term use in challenging riding conditions.
Do Middleburn valve caps fit all types of valves?
Yes, our Middleburn valve caps are designed to fit standard Presta and Schrader valves, making them suitable for a wide range of bicycles, from mountain bikes to road and gravel bikes. Each cap is engineered for a snug, secure fit to prevent air or dirt ingress.
Why should I use aluminium valve caps instead of plastic ones?
Aluminium valve caps provide superior protection and longevity compared to standard plastic caps. They are less likely to crack, deform, or seize, and add a premium finish to your wheels. Our anodised designs also allow riders to match their valve caps to other bike components for a coordinated look.
Do Middleburn valve caps help protect the valve?
Yes, valve caps protect the valve core from dust, moisture, and debris, which can otherwise lead to leaks or corrosion. They also help maintain a clean seal and ensure reliable inflation when you attach a pump or gauge. Using high-quality Middleburn valve caps helps prolong the lifespan of your valves and inner tubes.
Are Middleburn valve caps available in different colours?
Middleburn valve caps come in a selection of anodised finishes, allowing riders to customise their bikes with subtle, stylish detail. The anodising process also provides an extra layer of protection against scratches and weathering.
Can I use Middleburn valve caps on tubeless setups?
Yes, Middleburn valve caps are compatible with tubeless valves as well as traditional tube setups. They provide the same protective benefits, helping to keep the valve clean and functioning properly even in muddy or wet trail conditions.
How do I install or remove Middleburn valve caps?
Installation is simple; just screw the valve cap onto the valve stem by hand until it feels snug. Avoid over-tightening, as this can make removal difficult later. Middleburn valve caps are designed for an easy fit and can be removed without tools when you need to inflate your tyres.
