FAQs
Are these bolts safe to use on my stem?
No. The bolts included in the Bling Kit are specifically for water bottle cages and are not designed for structural use on stems or handlebars.
What size steerer tube does this kit fit?
The kit is designed for standard 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes.
Can I use the included spacers on a carbon steerer tube?
Yes, as long as the spacers are properly sized and your headset assembly is installed according to your fork manufacturer's specifications.
Does the kit come with a star nut?
No, the kit includes spacers, the stem cap, the stem cap bolt, and water bottle cage bolts. It does not include a star nut or compression plug.
How do I clean the anodized aluminum?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or heavy-duty chemical solvents which can discolor the anodization.
Troubleshooting
Stem cap feels loose after installation
Ensure your steerer tube is slightly shorter than the top of your top spacer to allow the cap to provide proper compression.
Bolts are stripping during installation
Ensure you are using the correct size hex key and do not over-torque, as these are lightweight aluminum alloy bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is designed specifically for bicycles with a 1 1/8 inch steerer tube.
- Installation: Ensure your steerer tube is cut to the appropriate length. Slide the required spacers onto the tube, place your stem, and finish with the integrated stem cap.
- Compatibility: The included bolts are designed solely for water bottle cages. Do not attempt to use these bolts on your stem, handlebars, or brake calipers, as they are not rated for structural loads.
- Care: Clean the anodized parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh degreasers that may strip the anodized finish over time. Periodically check that your stem cap bolt is properly torqued to ensure your headset remains secure.
