My local bike shop said I didn't need a valve cap for my presta valve wheels. This is my first time using presta.
Do you not need a cap over them?

Your LBS is right, OP:
The caps on a Presta valve are supplied to keep the tube from being punctured by the tip of the valve when rolled up tightly for shipping/sale. Unlike Schrader valves, which need an external dust cap, there's no need or benefit to using the plastic cap after installing a Presta valve on a wheel.
No, you don't.
you don't really need a valve cap, but in the case of an emergency, you can cut the end off a plastic valve cap and use it as an adapter for a schrader pump.

Those old Marlin 60s are real nice shooting guns. The micro groozed barrels are amazing.
Anyway, it's not nearly as important to cap your presta valves but I still do. I think it's good practice to keep them capped.
