The dust caps you have fitted are they metal, if so be careful as the different metals on the cap & the valve can have a chemical reaction and you will not be able to remove them, that happened to my sons MGZT he had to have all the valve's pulled and replaced so he could check the tyre pressures.

Just ask the local bike riding thieves if the caps get stuck, they can normally remove them for ya.

Will attest to this, had a set of Rover ones fitted once, lasted all of 4 days before the little blighters half-inched them, never again!

yes that can happen but usually the very next day after you have fitted them and most of the time all four so these kids ride around in pairs

A bit of copper grease on them, would that work stopping them from seizing.
