FAQs
Is the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt included?
No, the top cap is sold separately, and you must use the official Burgtec Top Cap Bolt for proper installation.
Will this fit a 1.5 inch steerer tube?
This cap is specifically designed for 1 1/8 inch stems and will not fit larger or tapered steerer tube standards.
How do I keep the anodized finish looking new?
Regularly wipe the cap down with a clean, soft cloth and avoid using abrasive brushes or degreasers that could dull the color.
Can I use this cap on a carbon steerer tube?
Yes, but ensure you are using a compatible compression plug rather than a star nut to avoid damaging the carbon.
What is the weight of the top cap?
The Burgtec Top Cap is manufactured to be extremely lightweight; exact weight can vary, but it adds negligible mass to your bike.
Troubleshooting
Top cap does not sit flush against the stem
Verify that there is a small gap between the steer tube and the top of the stem; if the steer tube is too high, the cap will bottom out before providing preload.
Bolt does not thread into the top cap
Ensure you are using the specific Burgtec Top Cap Bolt; using third-party bolts may result in incompatible thread pitches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Burgtec Top Cap, ensure your headset is properly seated. Place the cap onto the star nut or compression plug, then thread the required Burgtec Top Cap Bolt through the center. Tighten only until you feel resistance and the headset play is eliminated; do not use it to secure the stem itself. To maintain the Purple Rain finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; a gentle soap and water solution is sufficient. Always verify your stem is a 1 1/8 inch size before purchasing, as this component will not fit tapered setups outside of standard industry sizes.
