I might be developing a stem cap fetish!

As I’ve been sitting around for about 5 weeks now waiting for the various bits needed to complete a new bike build, I’ve had plenty of time to obsess on every aspect of the bike, and think of ways to fine-tune or customize it. Bits like aluminum and titanium bolts in various anodized colors, getting the right type of matte finish on headset spacers and seat clamp...stuff like that. Most surprising to me, though, has been my discovery of a new world of headset caps!

I’ve paid headset caps mind before, so that there are options didn’t surprise me, but that my go-to supplier, Kustom Kaps, was out-of-stock on what I wanted lead me to explore other options, and boy, there’s a wild world of headset caps out there bigger and more extensive than I knew! I’ve got color matched caps, caps with contrasting bolts, custom lettered caps, and a one-piece, concave cap/bolt combo from Absolute Black, but if you don’t know, there are tons of multi-color, laser etched, patterned and textured stem caps out there!

Long story short, I found the perfect cap for my purple Paul Boxcar stem, and it has a matte finish checkerboard to match the frame finish and headset spacers! I got it from some folks called PurelyCustom.com.

I never spent so much on a cap and bolt before, but they look great and I’m all in now, looking at my older bikes’ stem caps with some disappointment!

KustomKaps is where all the ones i have were purchased. My kids have em too- they geek out on little personalized things like that. The color matches your stem which is for sure a sigh of relief when you opened the package.

That stem's cnc'd lines are interesting. The angled lines look like they were done by hand since they dont exactly align with the straight lines, yet they are all perfect relative to the other angled lines. I cant stop looking at them because they are imperfect yet perfect. Very neat visual.

Yup. They will even do designs you submit. I have a few of them. I have one for my Dean that I designed. The color matches one of the colors in the red/blue/yellow/green decals on the bike. I’ve used those four colors throughout the bike. The stem cap is part of the handlebar plug/stem cap/handlebar plug/seat post clamp color points.

I had a much more elaborate cap made for my Moots using a Moots stem cap as a guide.

I even had handlebar plugs made. Those were a bit trickier since I wanted the alligators to both face forward. The left one was the tricky one to design.

Nice Paul stem, by the way. I have lots of stuff from Purely Custom as well. I really like their barend plugs

That Campagnolo 2-piece is clean!

I have an AB from a few years back, without the concentric circles machining. I bet that extra work shaved at least a gram! 😉

A few of my bikes have headsets that are numerically only 36.36% as good as the world's best.

Ditto.

One of my bikes even has a headset that’s only 9.09% as good. And that’s still good enough.

Wow! thats looks awsome. I must find something too since i'am kinda crazy for little custumization about colors on my bike.

cyccommute i saw your dean photos on Flickr and it's amazing , definitely one of the most unique customization i've seen in a while. good job

Does it not affect the bearing setting doing so?
The stem cap doesn’t do much of anything after the stem is tightened. Loosening the cap won’t have any effect on the bearings. The stem holds the bearings at the preload you’ve set it at.

A friend has used these guys. Cool stuff, a bit expensive but customized letters etc.

The caps and end plugs that I posted in post 7 came from them. Both of them are my own (adapted) design.

Was in a hiking shop recently and noticed the Suunto Clipper compass. Clip part removed I thought it would make a cool stick on (velcro?) over my gravel bikes' top cap.

Have seen other cheap looking compass top caps.

But then I think maybe the compass will not play nice with the phone in the top tube bag.
