Morning all,

Having tried a few different options from eBay etc which haven't quite worked out I thought I'd ask on here. I'm looking for some purple presta valve caps where the purple is darker shade than the more pinky looking ones. It's to match a Hope seat clamp and as tragic as that is it bothers me ☺️

Cheers all

Have you looked at Carboncycles?  Are they dark enough?
(I have a purple clamp and caps on my fatty, and a purple bell)

First world problems and all that 😉

I bought the Hope tubeless valve kit today from Evans Cycles. I went for the boring black ones but they had purple.

Pricey if you just want the valve caps rather than full valves, but if you want colour coordination... 🙂 £22 a pair

Do you know you can dye plastic? Just get a box of white ones and try dyeing them (or red ones or blue ones).

These look dark:

Any good?

The problem is, of course, that colours look different in photos - you won't be sure what you're getting until they arrive.

Uberbikes Instagram video of their tubeless valves looks a close match, you could always ask them. Theyve been very helpful in the past.

Secondhand valve dustcaps. Who would have thunk.
