Hi.
It's a good point that you mentioned the weight. Adding weight to the valve stem could stress the rubber and increase failure, which on a bike could be potentialy serious. :eek
Ther are phonomal centrifugal forces on the valves, espicaly if you ride 'progressively', and lets face it we need both Tyers unlike like a car that stays up right mostly when loss of a tire.
due to the lack of a dust cap I found due to my exsessive 'progressive' riding technique the valve was getting depressed due to the centrifugal force letting out the presure. The Tyer had no holes and was not due to tempt change.
