Product Information
Full details
The Wolf Tooth Bling Kit is perfect for cyclists looking to customize their cockpit and frame aesthetics with high-quality, precision-machined aluminum components. Designed for riders who prioritize both style and weight reduction, this kit offers a cohesive look by color-matching various small parts on the bike; however, it is strictly limited to 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes, making it unsuitable for tapered systems that require different headset configurations.

FAQs
Can I use these bolts for my stem?
No. The bolts included in the Bling Kit are designed exclusively for water bottle cages and are not rated for structural loads like stems or handlebars.
Does this kit work with tapered steerer tubes?
Yes, as long as the top portion of the steerer tube is a standard 1 1/8 inch diameter.
Is a star nut included in the kit?
No, the kit does not include a star nut or compression plug. You must reuse your existing one or purchase one separately.
Are the spacers made of carbon fiber?
No, these are high-quality machined aluminum spacers designed for durability.
What is the total stack height of the included spacers?
The kit includes 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm spacers, providing a total of 33mm of spacing, plus the 5mm integrated spacer on the stem cap.
Troubleshooting
Stem cap bolt feels loose
Ensure that your headset has proper pre-load before tightening the bolt. If the play persists, check that you have the correct amount of spacers to allow the stem to clamp down properly on the steerer.
Water bottle cage bolt will not thread
Check the thread pitch on your frame bosses; if the frame threads are damaged or painted over, carefully clear them out before attempting to install the new bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the Wolf Tooth Bling Kit requires basic bicycle tools, including a set of metric hex keys. Ensure your bicycle features a 1 1/8 inch top steerer tube before attempting installation, as this kit is not compatible with other steerer standards.
- Remove your existing stem cap and spacers.
- Determine your desired handlebar height and stack the appropriate aluminum spacers accordingly.
- Slide the integrated 5mm stem cap spacer onto the steerer tube.
- Secure the stem cap with the included black stem cap bolt, ensuring you do not overtighten, as this could damage the headset bearings.
- Use the provided bolts for water bottle cages only. Do not use these bolts on your stem, brakes, or any other structural components. Regularly check the bolts for tightness during your routine bike maintenance.
