Most useful top cap?
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?

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).

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Fastening a compass to a big metal thing doesn't seem like the best ideaI actually quite like the compass one - http://stemcaptain.co.uk/index.php/stem ... ass-detail

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!

Re: Most useful top cap?
I looked into getting that Specialized chain tool a while back. It looked like there were some limitations to it however:
http://reviews.mtbr.com/just-in-special ... -and-tools
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?

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.
