I've always heard the white stuff made you high... 8)
Maybe it's white caps!0 -
Don't have any white ones, I've only got yellow, black, green, red (somewhere) and the colourless ones.
I need to get white ones.0 -
So the colour codes are as follow:
Red - Makes you ride faster
Green - Makes you ride cooler
White - Makes you jump higher
Pink - Makes you Andy
The other ones I don't know:
Yellow - ??
Black - ??0 -
Wait that can't be right, I'm fairly sure white is the heaviest colour so how does it make you jump higher?0

Surely it should be the blacks that make you jump higher, because we all know white people can't jump?0 -
Nope, pretty sure it's the white stuff that makes you jump higher.
Here's the evidence:

Can't argue with your logic0 -

Gotta love it huh!
And angry bird-
The white stuff makes you faster and more aggresive rider. Also allows you the peace of mind to punch a chump in the face when they are too slow.
The green caps get you really high, I mean so high your in the sky, flying with the fishes.0 -

On another note, what about silver and gold?"Youth's a mask, but it don't last

Hmmm... interesting, not really into the punching thing unless I'm in an angry mood, and even then I normally just launch myself at the nearest pig/fat person in the hope they'll explode into a big green "5000".
I think I might go for a double green setup. It'll make my riding so much better.0 -
I like it when people paint the spokes, that looks cool."Youth's a mask, but it don't last

Can someone please put up a picture of dustcaps used correctly for the OP

used as nipple covers
I would but I haven't a bike or a camera to hand as I'm at work and Shell wouldn't like the second option on their computersI'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

I once saw a fixie with wiggly bars parked outside Tesco, so naturally I decided to vandalise it. But he had fitted locking dustcaps! So I slashed his tyres. Have some of that, beardy.0

I'm just reminding people that I HAVE NO dustcaps, since my punishment of greased up fatties hasn't happened yet. And I'm still waiting impatiently. Whilst putting up a tent.0 -

I have been thinking about the poor unfortunate youth who had to ride those 40+ miles home to make sure he went through his favorite puddle with flat (ish) tyres. I have a solution to his woes.
I think what needs to be made is a super dust cap that can be screwed to the valve as normal but also has a screw attatchment on the spindle in the centre of the wheel, any would be thief would upon trying to unscrew the supercap would find themselves stuck in the removal of the dustcap by the end attatched to the spindle. Hereby thwarting any attempt to let down the tyre.I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

I think we need to address the roots of the problem, the apes that let his tyres down. In the short term we need to prevent them doing this, in the long term we want them to learn that they don't want to do it and shouldn't because it is bad.
I think the best solution here is that the OP takes the wheels off the bike and carries them round with him all day, not letting them out of his sight. This way anyone wanting to let his tyres down can be hit round the head with a wheel or two.
I'd recommend the rear one for this purpose as you might be lucky enough to catch them with the cassette causing them more pain than is necessary and getting your point across to them that they should leave your bike alone and pick on someone else. Ideally someone who is smaller than them and doesn't have the really really useful help of random internet people giving them ideas on how to solve their problem.0 -

Alternatively hire a man from G4S to security guard your bike for you while you're at school. In Malawi the G4S men were proper badass, they walked around with big sticks and guns. I think the guns were just for show though, I'm fairly sure a few of them just had toy guns. But still a badass G4S man from Malawi should do the trick.
p.s. make sure you pay him well, otherwise he might be susceptible to bribes0 -
Did these G4S guys ride around on Dirty Hard Ass bikes?0
