“Ok, we may as well be honest about how this idea came about, because it’s a little funny. A couple of us were chatting around an assembly area here at the machine shop, and there was a small bin of random jumbled PAUL parts sitting on a bench. A Klamper pad adjuster had fallen into the steerer-clamp part of a Boxcar stem, and we were like, “Hey, this looks cool…”. We started showing it around the shop saying “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” and everybody was like “YES! That’s a great idea!” – Paul Components
“So, we sat down and designed this headset topcap to look like our Klamper pad adjuster, but fit the top of any stem/spacer situation. Of course, we machined them to tolerances waaaay beyond what a topcap needs (we can’t help ourselves.), and machined “Have A Nice Ride” on there, because we really do want you to have a nice ride. We thought these topcaps would really tie the room together and look awesome if you have, say, Black Klampers with Orange pad adjusters, and want to run a black Boxcar Stem with an Orange Topcap. Or Purple with black…or, you get the idea!”
