Stem caps

Post by Ian »

Just found these and think they look ace:

Quite taken with the thermometer one, though I'm usually only interested in the temperature if its cold rather than hot.... Still, as long as someone has one for this years -10 degree Winter Bivvy, we'll be fine ;)

The bottle opener seems a crap design design! Compared to this

As for the thermometer, how long until vibration kills it and the compass, prefer my trusty Silva Expedition 4, how are you going to account for declination with that?

I like the Paul's components one. A handy light or computer mount.

Yep, black or silver ... I know what DNF means though. Some anodising does look like it's come from a Max Factor catalogue ;)

Exactly, the Paul's bracket stem cap, looks subtle and screams quality, some anodised parts look poor show and should be relegated to the early 90s :)
