• Valve nut? You mean the retaining thing that you are supposed to wizz off and throw in the bin? You know you don't need them for tubes?

  • yeah, that little fucker. I don't normally use them but when you're sticking on a tube by the side of the road, don't have access to a bin, and you want to stash the stupid nut in a manner that it doesn't end up fucking up your washing machine when it falls out of your jersey pocket, then a good place to stash it is on the valve.

  • I normally stick them in jersey pocket or bikepacking bag and they've almost never ended up in the machine when I've forgotten them, they tend to stay in the jersey pocket and drop on the floor on another ride, scaring the shit out of me that I've dropped something important.
