FSA traditional Top cap

Buy on Amazon

The fsa traditional top cap's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. If you have a 1 1/8 carbon steerer and need an expander plug, this is a great choice. It can be used on forks with carbon steerers. This lets you have the plug at the same level as your stem. It's nice to have the plug at the same height as the stem because there is less chance of crushing the carbon steerer and it adds a little strength to the whole system.

The plug tightens radially, separate from the top cap which tightens axially for just the right preload on the headset. It does tighten the headset and stem. This is an easy part to remove and install just drop in and cinch it down, note that this is only for carbon steerer tubes. It is intended to be used on forks with carbon steerers.

• Easy to understand, install, and adjust
• Nice end cap which fits securely
• Easy to install and stays firm
