Compression Plug with Integrated Spacer Stem Cap Green

The Wolf Tooth Green Compression Plug with an integrated 5mm spacer stem cap is a must - have for road, MTB, or gravel bikes with carbon forks. It serves as an anchor point to set the headset preload, firmly securing all components on the steerer tube. Many fork manufacturers require the steerer tube to extend above the stem top, and this integrated 5mm spacer in the stem cap meets that need. Available in multiple colors, it adds a stylish touch to your bike. It fits forks with 1 1/8' steerer tubes, is designed for carbon steerer tubes but also works with metal ones having an inner diameter from 23.5mm to 24.5mm. Made of 7075 - T6 aluminum, and remember, never use a star nut on forks with carbon steerers.

Using this compression plug is easy. First, make sure your bike has a 1 1/8' steerer tube. If it's a carbon steerer tube, this plug is perfect, but it also works with metal ones with an inner diameter between 23.5mm and 24.5mm. Place the compression plug on the steerer tube to set the headset preload, which helps secure everything on the tube. Then, attach the stem cap with the integrated 5mm spacer. This is important as it meets the requirement of many fork manufacturers. When it comes to maintenance, just keep it clean. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth. And a very important note: never use a star nut on forks with carbon steerers, as it can cause damage.
