    Hi all,

    I didn’t know what i was doing initially when i tried to tighten my headset, which led me to damage the Pitlock top cap bolt head.  It still works but i don’t want to be out on a ride and have it give out on me if it ever needs adjustment, so I’d like to replace it with a standard top cap.  I just want a simple, good value top cap and bolt but i’m not sure what would be compatible.  Can anyone help?

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Once your stem bolts are tightened up, the cap isn’t a structural part so have a google. I bought this titanium cap and bolt for my winter bike for £6.50 delivered.
