I'm taking part in/running a charity cycle run in aid of the icu unit my mate spent spent a good chunk of 2020 in due to the virus.
I'm looking to have some custom stem caps made to mark the occasion. 10 in total. Has anyone had some made before?
For those interested we are planning on cycling 95miles over 2 days in aid of him. A mile for every day he spent in a coma.
I know this doesn't sound like a ground breaking distance but some of the group have taken up cycling just to take part in the event. So a social 95miles will do us grand.
Cheers
www.kapz.com the only place you need to go
I've used kapz. They're good, but expensive. Not sure it's vfm if you're raising money for a charity. Just get some stickers printed up instead and stick them over the existing stem caps?
Also look at ratherberiding.Co.Uk as an alternative to kapz.
Not used either personally but always good to have options
Expanding on what's been said, kapz will likely be £20 ish per unit.
EBay however there are several listings for stem cap specific custom decals, have those made and stick them on some basic plain ones.
I wouldn't go with rather be riding as the quality was poor when I got some. Sent them back and the response was well I tried my best.
Unite do them

Well that's just cost me £20! Lol. New topcap on the way.
This is the single most exciting thing i've bought in years.
Several years ago we had a picture comissioned.
It started with this Photo of our lad

Which morphed into this

Which is now printed and hangs on our wall.
I also use it as my Strava and Whatsapp picture.
A place came up in discussion who make steerer caps for bicycles.... so i got this.

So every time i'm on my bike, my lad is out there with me now. 😀

That’s a really nice top cap and great story behind it
I have had several kapz in the past - I have custom ones made with ICE info and Telephone number.
They also to spacers which you can get done like this too. Never had an issue, quality is good.

Thanks for the nice comments Steve glad you liked it and thanks for the repeat order.
In response to AndyBrad's comment I use as high a res printer as is possible to get for UV printing. But if a customer is not happy I am happy to give a refund as I cannot add extra print quality.
