Why do the little dust caps on the bleeder valves of disc brake calipers always fall off? I own both Hayes and Hopes, and the little rubber caps never seem to stay in place for more than a couple rides. I know they're not crucial to the function of the brakes, but why can't somebody make a rubber cap that doesn't fall off whenever the bike hits a bump?:mumble:

Shimano does. I have had my brakes for a little over a year and they are still on.


Edit: you dick..........You stole my sig

you could always tape the things on if it's a thread worthy issue

I've been riding with Hope discs since 1998, my dust caps have never fallen off.

Sorry to hear yours are

Haha sorry man didnt mean to make you cry

actually they are pretty crucial to the brakes. You absolutly don't want any dirt particles to get into your brake lines when you bleed them. Try wrapping a small rubber band around them. Those little rubber bands used for braces work well.
