Ok, so I'm a nerd. So what? I think it looks cool 'specially with the white rim stripes. The bike is currently being painted white so the white Lego cap will fit right in.

 

This may not be a great idea. Here's why.

On my BMW RS a couple of years ago, I had a product called a Firefly. Basically, it's a little red LED pressure device that flashes with the tire pressure drops below the value it sensed when the device was installed. Clever idea.

Problem was, the Firefly was just heavy enough to cause the valve stem to start twisting in the rim opening. It was at a noticeable slant. The local dealer had seen these before and noted that as the twist continues, the stem starts to tear. Eventually, this could lead to a blow out.

The lego is probably not as heavy and may not cause this problem. But you should watch it carefully in case it does. If the stem starts to look slanted, get rid of it.

Remember that the valve cap is one of the things that keeps air in. Does it have an actual sealing gasket inside of it or is it a real Lego block?

 

Not really a fan looks wise, but its your bike. If you like it keep it, it doesnt matter what we think. But I would definatly keep in mind what randy and berto said!

 

It's a chrome valve cap imbedded into a lego piece. My old bullet caps were heavier! Shouldn't have any problems with weight.

 

Thanks for reminding me that my rear tire is missing a cap. *goes to put one on*

 

In that case...Go Lego!

 

I'm not a huge fan. Just me. i do want to see pics of the whole bike when it's done though.
