Sweet. I wish I could get a purple one that says "OUCH!". That would be funny. Off to check out what I can find to customize Tess. She is a cheap Craiglist find and I really want to make her a little more fun looking.

A friend of mine had an "Easy" Button made for his Big Leg Emma through them.

My DBF gave me a few of these for my birthday - colors and quotes to match some of my bikes. They're really nicely done, and the company was great to work with. My problem is finding compression plugs that these headset caps work with. I took apart my Bianchi 928 and haven't been able to get the compression plug to 'take' yet...

I am not going to wait for Santa.
I think I will get one that says either "OUCH" or my mom's favorite "Can't Never Could". And lookie I can get matching lock on grips and bar ends.
I really wish I could have Can't Never Could for my Cannondale but I think it won't take these. Darn.Amanda

We've used Purly Custom for our shop's custom engraved headset caps. They do come out very clear.

What compression plugs do you use? All my bikes have carbon forks, so I can't use a star nut, but do you have one that works with the caps? On my Colnagos, I just have the new caps over the original Campy caps -- not ideal, but it works. Originally Posted by bike4ever
