FAQs
Is this top cap compatible with all stems?
It is compatible with all stems designed for 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes.
Does the bolt come included with the top cap?
No, the Burgtec Top Cap is engineered to be used with the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt, which is typically sold separately.
Will the color fade over time?
The anodised finish is highly resistant to fading, though extreme exposure to sunlight over many years may eventually result in minor color changes.
Can I use a standard M6 bolt instead of the Burgtec bolt?
It is strongly recommended to use the official Burgtec Top Cap Bolt to ensure a secure fit and to prevent damage to the cap.
How do I ensure the top cap is aligned correctly?
Simply center the cap over the steerer tube and hand-tighten the bolt until the desired headset tension is achieved.
Troubleshooting
Top cap feels loose after installation
Verify that your steerer tube is not too long and that the bolt is properly engaged with the star nut or compression device inside the fork.
Finish looks dull or dirty
Wipe with a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive bike cleaner to restore the original luster of the anodised finish.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Ensure your steerer tube is cut to the correct length so the top cap can apply proper tension to the headset. You must use the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt, as the threading and head geometry are specifically matched for this cap. For maintenance, clean the cap with a mild soap and water solution; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could scratch the anodised Bullion Gold finish. Periodically check the torque on your stem bolts to ensure the assembly remains stable.
