Where can i find a bike wheel nozzle replacement? best answer gets 5 stars?

Question

i lost my bike wheel nozzle, the thing that keeps air from escaping the bike wheel. In case you don't know what i'm talking about it looks like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shetha/2393044765/

WHERE can i find a replacement? Do all bike nozzles come in the same or standard size?

I find it stupid to buy an entirely new bike just because i lost my bike wheel nozzle/cap... so please help

Best answer gets 5 stars although i would give more stars if i could.

THANKS in advance

Answer 1

Any bicycle shop has them.

Answer 2

If you just lost the little plastic cap off the top, don't worry about it. You'll be OK, just s***w down the top of the valve when you are finished inflating the tire.

You don't need a new bike if the valve itself is missing. I just bought a new tube on sale for $3 which includes the valve and the plastic cap. You should learn how to replace a tube in case you get a flat while riding. It's not hard. Any experienced cyclist will be glad to show you how just because they love the sport. You will find experienced cyclists hanging around bike shops, drooling over the most expensive bikes in the place.
