On occasion I've used them as spacers/washers on a bike I'm putting a bottle cage on.
I'm curious, I think the Specialized airlock tubes I use on my cross bike don't have a fully threaded valve stem but the regular ones do. I'm wondering why that is? Maybe there is some really logical reason I'm not thinking of right now?
