A Valve Cap Worth Stealing: John Wrightson



Mountain bikers are a needy bunch huh? Trekking thru road passes most of us wouldn’t dare attempt, these outdoorsmen really need to pack light. They can’t be bothered with things like - a tire pressure gauge. So John Wrighton went and developed the Digital Valve Cap - a cap with a digital readout of the current tire pressure. It’s powered by a small cell battery and activated when you press the cap.

Every bike I have ever owned are missing their caps. They either fall off or some paranormal phenomenon is taking them. Either way I don’t see high tech caps staying where they’re supposed to for very long. Thieves!
