Boltless Caps
like any precision component, we would urge you to take a moment to read these fitting instructions before fitting
our boltless headset caps are designed to fit any bicycle that has a normal 1 1/8" (32mm) cap and bolt already installed - they are a marvel of design and engineering and fitting will take less than 1 minute
if installed and cared for correctly, our boltless headset caps are bomb proof
PLEASE BE GENTLE

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
your shiny new boltless KAPZ comes complete in 3 pieces . . . a RETAINER + a BOLT + the CAP INSERT
if your bicycle has been put together correctly, it is the STEM BOLT that holds everything safely and securely together NOT the headset cap & bolt - please NEVER torque your headset cap up during installation
^ here is your old headset cap ^
using an allen/hex key (probably 5mm), undo the bolt and remove your old headset cap and bolt
keep it safe, you will need to use it if you ever need to retighten your headset bearings in the future
your new Boltless Cap comes in three parts - a retainer, a bolt and the boltless cap
take your shiny new retainer and add the bolt to it - see how delicate it is
add a dab of grease to the bolt and carefully place the retainer and bolt over the hole in your forks
gently turn the bolt a few times with your fingers only
using a 4mm allen/hex key and only your fingers, tighten up the bolt carefully
PLEASE BE VERY GENTLE - DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE BOLT - IF IT'S TOO LONG - CUT IT
it should now sit firmly in place, lined up and the bolt . . . NOT EVEN FINGER TIGHT!!!
take the cap-insert in your hand and add a tiny dab of grease to the O-Ring at the back
place it over the retainer you have just installed
then align the design so it's facing the right way round on your bicycle
push the cap-insert into place - it should feel firm and tight, if it's been fitted correctly
SMILE - here is your new boltless headset cap - relax and admire your handy-work
If you are at all unsure, please get in touch with us and we will do our very best to assist you
with the installation of your super new boltless headset cap
REMOVAL - using two finger nails in the little tabs on each side of the retainer - simply pull the cap insert off - easy!
