FAQs
Can I use this bolt with a standard top cap?
No, this bolt is specifically designed for use with the Burgtec Top Cap system.
What material is the bolt made from?
The Burgtec Top Cap Bolt is manufactured from high-quality, lightweight alloy.
Is this bolt available in colors other than blue?
While this specific model is blue, Burgtec offers various colors in their component range to match different bike aesthetics.
Does this bolt affect headset tension?
The bolt secures the top cap, which is responsible for pulling the stem and headset together to adjust bearing preload.
How often should I check the tightness of the bolt?
It is recommended to check the tightness of your cockpit hardware before every ride, especially after periods of high-intensity trail riding.
Troubleshooting
Bolt feels loose after installation
Verify that the star nut or compression plug inside the steerer tube is correctly seated and providing sufficient resistance.
Difficulty threading the bolt
Remove the bolt and ensure there is no debris or cross-threading in the top cap or star nut threads. Gently restart the thread by hand.
Tool slipping in the bolt head
Ensure you are using the correct size hex wrench and that the tool is not worn. If the bolt head is rounded, replace the bolt immediately.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight alloy construction adds minimal mass
- High-quality finish that resists fading

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt, ensure you are using the correct hex key size to avoid damaging the alloy head. The bolt is threaded directly into the star nut or compression device contained within the steerer tube via the Burgtec Top Cap. Always ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation.
Compatibility Note: This component is strictly designed for use with the Burgtec Top Cap system. Using it with non-Burgtec top caps may result in a poor fit or stripped threads. For maintenance, periodically check the bolt tension to ensure it remains tight after heavy use, but avoid overtightening, as alloy bolts are softer than steel counterparts.
