Wolf Tooth Ultralight Stem Cap with Integrated 5mm Spacer – Espresso
This Wolf Tooth Ultralight stem cap combines a standard top cap with a fixed 5mm spacer. It’s designed for bikes with carbon steerers that require the steerer tube to extend above the stem for proper clamping and load distribution.
It simplifies cockpit setups by eliminating the need for a separate spacer above the stem while keeping headset preload and stem height correct.
Key Features
• Integrated 5mm spacer and stem cap in a single piece
• Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum construction
• Designed for clean, minimal cockpit setups
• Provides proper preload surface without additional spacers
• Durable anodized finish
Compatibility & Use Notes
• Fits 1 1/8" steerer tubes
• Compatible with straight 1 1/8" or tapered 1 1/2" to 1 1/8" steerers
• Intended for use with carbon steerers that require steerer extension above the stem
• Requires a compatible compression plug (not included)
• Not designed to replace internal compression plugs
Service / Ownership Context
This cap sets preload only—it does not anchor inside the steerer. Proper installation still depends on a correctly installed compression plug at the right depth. It’s commonly used during stem swaps or when dialing in final stack height on carbon forks.
Fit & Use Signals
• Good fit if your carbon fork requires the steerer to sit above the stem
• Good fit if you want a cleaner top-of-stem spacer solution
• Good fit for road, gravel, and mountain bikes with 1 1/8" steerers
• Not a fit if you need an internal compression plug
• Not a fit for forks that allow flush or below-stem steerer cuts
