Wolf Tooth Compression Plug with Integrated Spacer Stem Cap
Best integrated solution for a clean and reliable bike cockpit.
This is the safest way to tension a carbon fork without the destructive force of a traditional star nut. By integrating a spacer directly into the cap, it cleans up your cockpit and solves the common headache of steerer tube height, though you sacrifice the ability to run a standard top cap.
