Product Information
Full details
The Deity Crosshair Headset Cap Kit is an essential upgrade for cycling enthusiasts looking to personalize their bike's aesthetic with high-quality components. Designed for standard 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes, this kit provides a refined look through its minimalist spacers and countersunk bolt design, offering a lightweight solution for weight-conscious riders. While the kit provides a durable 7075 T6 machined aluminum bolt and premium anodized finish, users should note that correct installation requires careful attention to torque and lubrication to ensure the headset remains securely engaged.

FAQs
Will this fit a tapered steerer tube?
Yes, it fits the standard 1 1/8 inch upper diameter used on almost all tapered steerer tube forks.
Can I reuse my existing star nut?
While it is possible if the old one is in good condition, it is highly recommended to use the new star nut included in the kit for the best fit.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a 5mm hex key for the bolt and a star nut installation tool to properly seat the star nut inside the steerer tube.
Can I use this on a carbon steerer tube?
No, this kit includes a star nut, which is intended for metal steerer tubes only. Carbon steerers require an expansion plug.
How do I maintain the color finish?
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical degreasers or abrasive sponges that could scratch the anodized finish.
Troubleshooting
Headset feels loose after tightening
Ensure the stem bolts are loosened before tightening the headset cap bolt, then tighten the stem bolts firmly once the play is removed.
Bolt is difficult to thread
Back the bolt out and re-apply grease to the threads to ensure they are clean and debris-free.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is strictly compatible with standard 1 1/8 inch threadless headsets. To install, first drive the included star nut into your steerer tube using a proper star nut setting tool. When installing the headset cap, apply a light coat of bicycle grease to the underside of the countersunk bolt head and the threads; this prevents seizing and ensures a precise fit. Always perform the final tightening with the bike sitting on the ground to ensure the headset is fully engaged and there is no play in the fork assembly. Periodically check the bolt tightness as part of your standard pre-ride maintenance.
