An FSA top cap kit for 1-1/8in carbon or alloy steerers.

Highlights

  • Steerer: 1-1/8in
  • Type: Compression device for carbon steerers
  • Hardware: Stainless bolt
  • FSA code: TH-883

Details

A threadless headset is held together by the top cap and an anchor inside the steerer. The bolt pulls the stem down to set bearing preload before you tighten the stem.

Set the preload just enough to remove play in the headset, then tighten the stem bolts to their marked torque. Over-tightening the top cap makes the steering stiff and wears the bearings early.

Fit and compatibility

It suits 1-1/8in carbon or alloy steerers. If you can, compare it with the part you're replacing, or quote the code printed on the old part.

Fitting

Use the correct tool and torque for the part, and replace worn or damaged hardware rather than reusing it. Our workshop can fit it for you if you'd rather not do it at home.

If you're not sure it's the right part for your bike, send us the details and we'll check before you order.
