Hmm just found it in its original packaging, and it is rather cool.. I might just have to keep it!

I hate to say it, but on closer inspection this one seems plastic aswell. :?

Wanted one of those when that issue came out, but could only find the MBUK ones over here, so didn't buy the magazine! Sucks that it's plastic, didn't realise that.

Yup it is plastic, I got one free with the mag ages ago, no idea where it is now though.

I certainly wouldn't use it on a bike it doesn't look up to the job IMHO

That said, the original Aheadset specification is for a plastic top cap. So it snaps rather than allowing the bearings to be over tightened. People only started using alu caps cos they look nice!

set the headset with an alloy one then replace with the plastic one to save a gram or 2
