HippY Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 After today I managed to snap my top cap ( a small bit just came out of it, so the whole as wide as the bolts head.... it got tired) I am looking for a new one, but I have not got a clue which one should I go for. so far what I know: it should be stronger then lighter it does not need to be a "Chris Kring High end top cap just £99.99" My options that I found are http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Top-Cap-headset-1-1-8-ATB-Road-BicycleTrials-Onza-C-Creek-Inc-Nut-Bolt-/351070363900?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item51bd6ca0fc Mongo top cap, I have a mongo headset Echo top cap http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/token-pyro-alloy-top-cap-bolt/rp-prod57997 this fancy one Honestly for me the mongo top cap seems to be strong, but I am not sure about anything atm...

Jake. Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm sorry but if you're asking people what top cap to get, especially if it's not sloped I don't know how you managed to build your wheels? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay off jake the geeza's new to riding. His main deal is computers where even little shit can make a difference to a turd build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 No no I'm just surprised that's all, impressed he can build wheels no doubt bit surprised with the top cap that's all. It's like a mechanic at formula one who is amazing at engines but can't do a wheel locking bolt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hope gets my vote there topcaps are very nice with the dedicated alloy bolt.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/hope-hed-doctor-bolt/rp-prod12801http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/hope-headset-top-cap/rp-prod18742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Although depending on fork he could be shit out of luck. If you've had issues breaking normal top caps before, might be worth trying one like the Echo with the countersunk head but either way I'm sure it'll be alright. Just don't go f**king mental tightening your headset again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 As long as it doesnt have a stupid amount or material machined out of it and is/isnt sloped depending on what you need and not 1.5" pretty much anything would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
