Maybe on cars but on bikes valve caps are basically useless. There's no way that a valve would corrode or rust within its useable life if you're pumping it up regularly. Regardless, tubes are ~2 quid, who gives a shit. My love of valve caps is purely aesthetic / compulsive
Yeah it's not so much them corroding or rusting, more about grit getting in a jamming valve. But that would be more of a issue on schrader rather than presta. But I'm just a wierdo and prefer to see a valve cap.
