FAQs
Will this bolt fit my stock stem top cap?
No, this bolt is designed specifically for use with the Burgtec Top Cap system only.
Is this bolt compatible with 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes?
Yes, it is machined specifically for 1 1/8 inch stems.
What tools do I need for installation?
A standard Allen key is required. Always hand-start the bolt to prevent cross-threading.
Can I use this on a carbon steerer tube?
Yes, provided you are using the correct expander plug and a compatible Burgtec Top Cap.
Does the colour fade over time?
The bolt is anodised for durability, which is highly resistant to fading compared to painted bolts.
Troubleshooting
Bolt will not thread into the top cap
Ensure you are using an authentic Burgtec Top Cap; this bolt is not cross-compatible with other brands.
Finish appears dull after cleaning
Avoid using heavy degreasers on the bolt; use mild bike soap and rinse with water to restore the shine.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality anodised finish for fade resistance
- Extremely lightweight alloy construction
- Variety of color options available for customization
- Precise fitment for Burgtec ecosystems
Cons
- Compatible only with Burgtec Top Caps
- Not suitable for universal replacement use
- Requires careful installation to avoid stripping the alloy threads
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply ensure your headset is correctly tensioned using a compatible Burgtec Top Cap. Thread the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt by hand initially to ensure the threads are properly aligned, then tighten using a standard 4mm or 5mm Allen key. Do not overtighten, as the alloy material is softer than steel and can strip if excessive torque is applied. To care for the bolt, avoid using harsh caustic cleaning agents, as these can dull the anodised finish over time; standard bicycle wash and a soft cloth are sufficient to maintain the luster.
