How important are...

...the little rubber caps that cover the bleed valves on Hayes calipers? Mine keep falling off, and I wanna know if I need to replace them or not.

look around, i bet you'll be hard pressed to find someone that still has them.

just make sure you sray dirt out of valve opening before bleeding.

they're worthless without the rubber cap. You should probably just give them to me.

I don't care "why". I just want to know if you still have it or not. And if so, can you huck it?

Not without the little rubber thingies (technical jargon). They add a substantial measure of isolatory damping forces necessary to complete a desired huck. Kinda like a flux capacitor if it were made out of rubber, but kinda not.

I have mine from 2001. It's one of the many reasons my brakes are far better than anything else :D.

I knew a guy who took off those litte rubber things. Where's he today? DEAD.

I know guys that take them off to save weight.
