The Wolf Tooth Compression Plug is a must - have for road, MTB, or gravel bikes with carbon forks. It acts as a reliable anchor point to set the headset preload, firmly securing all components on the steerer tube. Included is a stem cap with a 5mm integrated spacer, crucial as many fork manufacturers demand the steerer tube extend above the stem top. With eight color options, you can add a touch of style to your bike. Compatibility: It fits forks with 1 1/8' steerer tubes. Designed primarily for carbon steerer tubes, it also works with metal steerer tubes having an inner diameter from 23.5mm to 24.5mm. Remember, never use a star nut on forks with carbon steerers.

Using the Wolf Tooth Compression Plug is easy. First, make sure your bike has a 1 1/8' steerer tube. If you have a carbon steerer tube, this plug is perfect, but it also works with metal ones with an ID between 23.5mm and 24.5mm. Place the compression plug on the steerer tube to set the headset preload. Then, use the included stem cap with the 5mm integrated spacer. Ensure the steerer tube extends above the stem as required by many fork manufacturers. Important note: never use a star nut on forks with carbon steerers. For maintenance, regularly check the tightness of the plug and cap. Keep them clean by wiping with a soft cloth. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the plug promptly.
