Just noticed that the standard plastic top cap has cracked on one of my bikes ... so I'll be changing it, but what for? I've got a Pauls light / gps mount and a King Cage bottle mount cap spare but is there anything else out there that's useful I might have missed?

This any use to you?

You can get a compass, a clock or a thermometer :)

Thermometer, clock or compass......?

Ooh, another double post! I sense a lot of Googling going on :)

Good grief, who designs/buys this stuff?

I kinda liked the clock.

There is something about an analogue watch that slows down time!

Niner YAWYD if you can find one. Bottle cap of your choice then

(YAWYD = "you are what you drink" I believe).

Fastening a compass to a big metal thing doesn't seem like the best idea

I'm sure a magnetised bike would have many new age health benefits!

I was sure there was a small whisky/rum etc flask you could get that fitted in there... not finding it on google though!

Non magnetic bolt and ally frame should be OK no?

not a top cap as such but may be of interest http://forums.mtbr.com/gps-hrm-bike-com ... 32855.html


or just use the space to say something about yourself . . . .

And when i say you - i don't mean you stu . . . . as that would imply you had easy access to a muckdonalds!

I looked into getting that Specialized chain tool a while back. It looked like there were some limitations to it however:

They reckoned that you couldn't use it to put a chain pin back in, just remove a chain pin and use a Power Link to put it back together. Was keen but that made me decide against it, not sure if they've changed the design.

Liking the clocks though, recently got fed up with my £5 Asda special bike computer and want something that's just a clock/maybe an alarm, anyone got any other recommendations that might fit on the bar?

World's most expensive top cap?

I've got the clock on my 9;Zero7.

Of course the most useful top cap of all is the one that comes attached to your bicycle . Sorry, been trying to resist for days but today I crumbled , , please forgive me.
