FAQs

Can I use this bolt with a different brand of top cap?

No, the Burgtec Top Cap Bolt is specifically threaded and shaped for compatibility with Burgtec Top Caps only.

Does this bolt fit tapered steerer tubes?

Yes, as long as your stem is a standard 1 1/8 inch size and you are using a compatible Burgtec Top Cap.

Is this bolt made of steel?

No, it is machined from lightweight aluminum to help reduce the overall weight of your bike cockpit.

What torque should I apply to the bolt?

You should only tighten the bolt enough to remove play from the headset; do not overtighten, as aluminum is softer than steel.

Are there multiple color options available?

Yes, the bolts are anodized in various colors to help you coordinate with your specific bike build.

Troubleshooting

Bolt will not thread into the top cap

Verify that you are using a genuine Burgtec Top Cap, as this bolt is not compatible with other brands.

Bolt head is rounding during installation

Ensure you are using a clean, non-worn hex key and that it is fully seated in the bolt head before applying pressure.

Anodized color is fading

Avoid using harsh industrial solvents or degreasers; clean only with mild bike-safe detergent and water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight aluminum construction
  • Wide range of anodized color options
  • High-quality machining for a clean look
  • Easy to install with standard tools

Cons

  • Only compatible with Burgtec Top Caps
  • Requires careful torque management due to alloy material
  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward but requires attention to torque settings to avoid stripping the aluminum threads. Always use a high-quality hex key that fits snugly to prevent rounding the bolt head. Ensure your headset is properly tensioned before final tightening. Regarding care, use a soft cloth and mild soap for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may fade or degrade the anodized finish over time. Remember, this bolt will not thread correctly into generic non-Burgtec top caps, so verify your hardware before installation.
