What's included

  • One Carbon-Ti X-Cap Carbon Matte Stem Cap (in the size you select)
  • One AL7075-T6 aluminum TORX bolt (in the color you select)

Will it fit your bike?

Compatible with

  • Threadless headsets with a 1 1/8 inch steerer, using the standard cap
  • Threadless headsets with a 1 1/4 inch Over Sized steerer, using the Over Sized cap
  • Carbon, aluminum and steel steerers, with a star nut or an expander plug already fitted
  • Road, gravel and mountain bikes alike

Not compatible with

  • Threaded headsets, which use a locknut rather than a top cap
  • Steerers with no star nut and no expander plug fitted
  • Steerer diameters outside 1 1/8 inch and 1 1/4 inch

Confirm before ordering

If you are not sure of your steerer size, or whether a star nut or expander plug is fitted, check with your bike mechanic.

You can also contact Hammer & Howl before ordering.

Two things decide fit: the steerer diameter and what is already inside the steerer.

Select the standard cap for a 1 1/8 inch steerer and the Over Sized cap for a 1 1/4 inch steerer. The steerer needs a star nut or an expander plug fitted, because that is what the top cap bolt pulls against to set your headset preload.
