Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will this fit a 1.5 inch steerer tube?
No, this top cap is designed exclusively for 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes.
Can I use my existing stem bolt?
The Burgtec Top Cap is designed to be used with the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt; other bolts may not provide the correct fit.
Does this product come with a bolt?
No, the top cap is sold individually and requires the purchase of the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt separately.
Is the anodized finish prone to fading?
Anodizing is highly durable, but like any colored finish, it can fade if exposed to direct, harsh UV rays or acidic cleaning agents for long periods.
What tools are needed for installation?
You typically need a 4mm or 5mm Allen key, depending on the specific Burgtec Top Cap Bolt being used.
Troubleshooting
Top cap does not sit flush with the stem
Verify that the steerer tube is cut to the correct length and that the star nut or compression plug is installed at the appropriate depth.
Bolt does not thread into the cap
Ensure you are using the official Burgtec Top Cap Bolt; other bolts may have incompatible threads or head sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure you have a 1 1/8 inch stem assembly and the necessary Burgtec Top Cap Bolt. Place the cap over the stem bolt hole and tighten until the headset preload is correct and the handlebars rotate smoothly without play. Compatibility is strictly limited to 1 1/8 inch steerers and the proprietary Burgtec bolt. For care, wipe down the cap with a soft, damp cloth during routine bike cleaning. Avoid using harsh degreasers directly on the anodized finish to maintain the vibrancy of the color over time.
