What's included

  • One Carbon-Ti X-Cap Titanium headset top cap, in a natural titanium finish
  • Its color anodized Al7075 Torx bolt, in the color you select

Not included: A star nut or expander plug. The cap's bolt threads into the star nut or expander plug in your steerer. Most bikes already have one; if yours does not, add one before fitting the cap.

Will it fit your bike?

Compatible with

  • Bikes with a threadless headset and a 1 1/8 inch steerer (the standard size)
  • Carbon, aluminum, or steel steerers, with a star nut or expander plug already fitted

Not compatible with

  • 1 1/4 inch (oversize) steerers, which take the oversize Carbon-Ti X-Cap Carbon Matte Stem Cap
  • Threaded headsets, which use a locknut instead of a top cap
  • Steerers without a star nut or expander plug fitted (add one first)

Confirm before ordering

Check that your steerer is 1 1/8 inch and that a star nut or expander plug is fitted. If you are not sure, confirm with your bike mechanic or contact Hammer & Howl before ordering.

The titanium cap fits most 1 1/8 inch steerers, which is what most road, gravel, and mountain bikes use. It sits on top of the steerer and is held by its own bolt, which threads into the star nut or expander plug already in your fork. It replaces just the top cap, so you do not change your headset. For a 1 1/4 inch steerer, choose the oversize Carbon-Ti X-Cap Carbon Matte Stem Cap instead.
