Replacement top cap and bolt for 2016 CAADX
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

Headset bolt should be tightened just enough to load the headset bearings- Then stem bolts tightened to correct torque to hold steerer in place.
Live a little and take a look at http://www.kapz.com/
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.
Go to your LBS. They should have one.
