WTF!!! WTF!!! WTF!!!

Wanted to check my tyre pressures today.

First I had a hard time removing the front dust cap, but i was able to unscrew it. When I checked the capIt had some white traces of glue on it, also on the thread.

I couldn't undo the rear one at all. had to use my big grippers to unscrew it. Glue was all over the thread.

Very funny indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!


I usually put my alarm on all the time so I haven't got a clue where this has been done. Could only be someone from my neighbourhood or someone at work.

dont feel too bad mate.

In one of my first jobs we routinely used to superglue the locks to rivals offices. :lol:

There they would be, standing on the pavement all flustered on thier mobiles trying to get an emergency locksmith so they can get in and deal with the appontments they missed all morning.

Guaranteed we'd get more achieved that day than any of our competition would!. And no, it was not my idea. the bosses made me join in or leave :shock: :lol:

I didn't find it that funny when I was at the petrol station trying to get the caps off.
That was yesterday and it had something like 25Celsius. Me in lfull eathers got quite a bit angry.... :evil:

I got worried after I posted this on here about the oil filler cap.

At least they left that alone. :roll:

Next time I just wish I catch them in the Act.

are you shore it was glue

Are they ally?

Ally valve caps tend to glue them selves to the vavle because of corrosion and they leave a white powdery residue when you get them off

I remember trying to get a set of ally piston ones off my bike once, cut my hands to shreds because it was so cold and i couldn't feel my finger

Now i always put a small amount of grease or vasaline around the valve after checking tyre presures :wink:

yes I'm sure because it was spilled over the front cap.

They did a nice job on the rear one though. Made it very hard to get that one off :lol:
