Swallow Stem Cap - Brass

Known for always returning home no matter how far they travel, swallows have traditionally symbolized safe return, good fortune, and freedom. The graphic captures swallows gliding gracefully in a circle, rendered in crisp detail through laser engraving. Crafted from solid brass with a refined satin finish, the cap naturally patinas over time, adding character with every mile. Paired with a black-finished ultra-low profile stainless steel bolt, it maintains a low, refined profile while delivering a talisman-like charm right at your handlebar. Custom Backside Engraving Available Add a personal touch with custom laser engraving on the reverse side of the cap. Whether it’s an inspiring personal motto, a meaningful date, or a thoughtful message for a cycling enthusiast, it makes an ideal personalized gift for birthdays, milestones, or new bike celebrations. (Up to 20 characters / Letters, numbers, and symbols) Please Read Before Purchasing Dimensions & Fit: Outer diameter is 32mm (compatible with standard 1-1/8" / OS steerer tubes). Please verify the diameter of your stem/spacer setup prior to purchase. Included Bolt & Required Tool: A custom ultra-low profile bolt (M6 x 30mm) is included. A 3mm straight-cut hex key (flat-ended Allen wrench) is required for installation. Standard bolts will not fit the flush counterbore, and ball-end hex keys must not be used as they may strip the shallow socket. Installation & Headset Adjustment: If you are simply swapping out your existing top cap, just install this product and gently tighten with the included bolt (1.5 – 2.0 N·m). Note: Only if you are replacing the stem or doing a full headset preload adjustment, please use your own standard M6 bolt to adjust bearing play before fitting this finishing cap.
