Uh, you're suppose to chuck the valve stem caps. They are not necessary.

Ok fine,

Well now I wouldn't say that.

The caps, however, aren't necessary.

You may want to keep the stem and chuck the cap.

What does 700c have anything to do with it? There are 2 types of valves/stems. Presta/Schrader. Size of wheel has nothing to do with it. If they are presta just ride without, or take the caps off and spray paint em. Not hard.

So how can you put air in the inner tube if you clamp your chuck onto the cap?

There are some nice ones in there, I like the carbon fibre one.

Though, easiest and possible cheapest way is to use a spraycan of white paint. If you might actually want to do more white accenting, you still have some paint left.
