So, everyone is asking me about ruddy dice caps. You know, what's wrong with a regular black dust cap?
DOES NOONE agree with me that dice caps are just stupid annoying shit and sometimes just get in the way of your colour scheme?
-
Must admit I prefer a standard anodized valve cap :)
.........saying that most of my bikes get the standard black plastic ones.
-
Not keen on dice valve caps, or the tiny dice that some people put on the end of brake cables

Damn....they were next on my to do list. Was thinking a nice black and orange set to compliment my tyres :2funny:

And they should still be on there too fella.
Don’t be turned by the opinions of others, it’s your bike so build it how you want it. Some may not like dice caps, but everyone fitted them back in the 80’s.
(Those tyres were a definite no no though).

Retrodan72 is right, those tyres need to be burned and the ashes buried somewhere they can never be found! :LolLolLolLol:

You should be made to go and stand in the naughty corner.Spiderweb seats are a complete and utter fooking abomination for a BMX of any era.If you must have one,at least go for a railed Tioga D-Spyder.

James, that’s like saying that murdering women is wrong on all levels, but if you are going to finish one off, make sure that she has nice tits. :LolLolLolLol:

This has to be a troll right? how 80s are valve dice? Thats like saying you dont like BMX Mags?
If you saw my BMX, which after years of building is just yesterday finished, im sure youd quickly realise why clear blue valve dice with white dots are the absolute 80's dogs bollox! I like the regular sized dots not the spaced out ones 8) I didnt want any black on my bike, apart from where my pure white bling pimped pedals join the crank, i like the suspended in the air floating look of that.
So crappy black plastic valves sticking out my perfect white sexy Skyways :smitten: just pissed me off. I hadnt just hand polished every single nut, washer, rivet, screwthread, bearing cup, bolt head and spring on the entire bike.. and even cleaned the end of the brake cable drum (wouldnt polish :whistle: ) to have a finely tuned and balanced colour scheme fuked up by a cheap bit of black rubber.
But yeah cant get self inflating tires, so they have to be covered in something. So killing two unwanted birds with one stone i lined the red part of the Panaracer tire logo up with the black valves, and then totally took the attention off both with a cool as fook clear blue ice cube, with... wait for it, sit down or youll fall over with excitement... cool white dots on it!! :slayer: I know its genius right? And i thought this through as an 11yr old in 84 when i first designed this bike and now 35 ys later im still right :nuts:
Next youll be saying you dont like white chains or navy blue chrome custom decals? :LolLolLolLol:
Now if you wanna bitch about something, lets bitch about white tires, why couldnt they make white tires? or white brake cables? I used to spray my grey dia compe cables white as a kid, they looked the absolute nuts! :smitten:

White chains can go in the bin as well

Yep, you're not going to find many fans of coloured chains on here... "nono"
@Bob1984bmx - get a pic up of your bike :daumenhoch:

I get that valve dice and coloured chains arnt for every BMX, like painted calipers on cars can look great or wtf is that messing up the look of the wheel. Depends on the car/BMX though, what look your going for. Mine rocks the fook outa a white chain :slayer: The whole bikes Chrome/White with some shiny Blue bits, needs the sun and outdoors for pics, ill get some when the weather warms up :daumenhoch:
If i was going for the Piss drinking Gimp look id want black rubber vales 4sure! Hang a plastic tube of milk off the top for the authentic used look :LolLolLolLol:

I'm still not keen but will allow alternate links if you must :teef:

Speaking for myself I would only put dice caps on a freestyle bike? Only my opinion mind ;)
