Yup, my brother and I always binned crankset dustcaps along with dork discs, chainring guards and CPSC reflectors the first thing after we get our new bikes home. For some weird reason, I only started putting the dustcaps on my crankset after I joined this forum
Little did I know that those chintzy chromed plastic dustcaps from Stronglight will be prized/priced so much these days......
