Product Information
Full details
The Deda Elementi 46mm Headset Top Cover is an essential component for cyclists running Alanera RS handlebars or Superbox V2 stems who prioritize a seamless, aerodynamic cockpit aesthetic. Designed specifically to interface with 1 1/8 inch upper headset bearings, this cover ensures a flush transition between your stem and headtube, though it is strictly limited to these specific Deda cockpit systems and will not fit generic stems.

FAQs
Can I use this with a standard non-Deda stem?
No, this cover is specifically designed for the geometry of the Deda Alanera RS and Superbox V2 stems.
Is this cover compatible with tapered steerer tubes?
Yes, provided the upper headset bearing is the standard 1 1/8 inch size used by these Deda components.
Does this cover come in different sizes?
This specific model is sized at 46mm to fit the supported stems; please verify your cockpit requirements before purchase.
What tools are needed for installation?
Standard hex keys are usually sufficient, provided your headset is already preloaded correctly.
Will this protect my headset bearings?
Yes, it provides a physical barrier against sweat, dirt, and road grime entering the top bearing assembly.
Troubleshooting
Top cover is not sitting flush against the headtube
Verify that your headset spacers are correctly aligned and that there is no obstruction preventing the cover from seating fully.
Rattling noise coming from the cockpit area
Ensure the stem and top cover are properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications, as loose components can vibrate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your headset is correctly preloaded and your stem is positioned at the desired height. Slide the 46mm top cover over the steerer tube before finalizing the stem torque settings. It is compatible exclusively with the Deda Elementi Alanera RS and Superbox V2 product lines using 1 1/8 inch upper bearings. To maintain the component, clean the area around the headtube with a mild degreaser to prevent grit accumulation that could cause wear between the cover and the stem. Avoid using harsh solvents that might degrade the finish.
