SlamThatStem headset caps

Has anyone tried these? They look awesome. Kinda pricey though ($15) for an anodized piece of stamped metal.

I have one on my CAAD10. They do what they're designed to.

It's $15 shipped. Try finding a place that will make you the same piece for anywhere near $15 shipped. They are awesome for CAAD10 or Evo frames. http://metallicpoutine.com/

Which is? Looks like it's just a cosmetic cover.

Have you ever seen a stock cdale cover?

I ordered two. One each for my Giant and Trek.
I'll try it on my Trek first, but will need to adjust the compression plug.

Lets you get your stem lower than you could with most standard bearing covers, and it looks cool.

Lower your stack height.

The stock dust cap on a CAAD10 is 16mm or 25mm depending in the size (I think).

Has anyone tried installing one on a Felt F series (2011-) bike? How does it fit?

Love it!

yea, the slammed stem look really does look great. I have one on order but may put a 5mm spacer on top, haven't decided.

UCF Eric 12-29-12 11:37 PM

I have one on my Allez, I had to use a .1mm spacer underneath of it but it fits just find and looks great.

Why not just spend the 6 bucks on an Aheadset compression cover instead? That's what I've got on all my bikes.

This looks like a good alternative, just a few mm taller. Looks a little better because of better transition from headset to stem.

You can get feather light carbon ones with more options from veloflyte.com There is also other carbon goodness on that site as well. ;)
