I've had mine stolen before. This sounds like a good alternative.

Sorry, my .02
I gave up on fancy valve stem caps years ago. My luck the nit-wits will try using pliars when they can't get them off the convential way and I will end up with busted valve stems and flat tires.

Only looking for them with the "50 and Cross Flags" 50th Anniversary logo.
Don't think anyone has ever made them that way or ever will though.
