what i've noticed is.... that when i tighten it at the pump, i can only get it so tight. and when i ride away (i don't know if it's the vibrations or what), but i can get it much tighter.


so i what i would do is start to loosen it while still riding before you get to the pump

Honestly it looks nice. But we now see the price of vanity. I had multiple people try to turn my cap off just so that i felt better about not being able to get it open then i went ahead and covered it with a thick cloth then lodged a flat head screw driver in it and gave it a few love taps and then it got to turning.
