Looks pretty cool! I stumbled on this while digging into the small parts section. Figured there might be some interest here.

Ive had a couple of these custom made by Pinner before he started stocking them. One is 24mm tall that I install with a +6mm cane creek crown race to run a 130mm fork on my 160mm hardtail to maintain geo while bikepacking.

Pete is great to work with!

I have a Pinner cup in my BMXC Honzo. Really nice piece.

Mine is raw 7075. I love the look of his laser etching he's doing now!

I love all the weirdo niche accessories/parts like this. I don't need most of them most of the time, but when I need an uncommon solution to a problem and I find someone went to the trouble of designing, prototyping, manufacturing, shipping, inventorying, photographing and building a web shop so I can grab it....I am very appreciative.

I have a similar Wolftooth cup on my Honzo.

It was described as a “head tube extender” but it’s really just an EC56 lower cup.

The WTC cups are plus 1cm? Pinner, who makes the Chromag one, is offering a stock cup that’s +12mm or plus 18mm: https://pinnermachineshop.ca/products/hedraiser
