The magic of the EDC Top Cap is how it's installed on your steerer tube. In order to install the Top Cap, you have to thread the steerer tube of your fork. Our EDC Tap Tool makes the job quick and easy. You don’t even need to remove your stem.
Enduro world champions and athletes around the globe choose the EDC Top Cap for their race bikes. It’s light, trustworthy and gives you the most storage options of any in-stem EDC carrier.
There are a couple possibilities for this:
1. Is the mutli tool oriented correctly within the EDC tool body? If it is backward and not meshing will the tire lever, the tool will bulge and be difficult to remove
2. The multi tool side plate bolts have loosened off and are jamming against the top cap.
For both situations the solution is to: 1. Loosen the stem bolts
2. Using soft jaw pliers, or pliers with a cloth, loosen off the top cap.
3. pull the top cap and tool off the steerer tube.
4. Either remove the multitool, or tighten the side plate bolts. The tool will then slide out of the top cap and you can reassemble everything correctly.
Please email support@oneupcomponents.com if you have any trouble with this process, or damage anything, and we will be happy to help.
It is likely that the top O-ring is dry. Best thing to do is rub a small amount of grease onto the o-ring and re-install it.
If that does not help, please email us at support@oneupcomponents.com.
Although some companies will state that threading their steerers will void the warranty, we have not been shown evidence of any failures directly a result of a threaded steerer tube.
It will likely damaged the threads for further use, but you can if necessary, install a star nut in a steerer tube that has been threaded.
We do not have the fork plugs available as a single item. they are only available within the top cap kit.

"Once I could wrap my brain around how this system worked, I HAD to have it in my bike! I’ve since installed it on at least five bikes, and my three bikes are currently equipped with it, so i don’t even have to think about whether I have tools with me. The tap kit works really well too."
"easy install. works great on the trail. perfect tool"
"This was an ideal solution to help me set up my bike for barspins"
"Does what it should and looks great doing it!"
"The OneUp EDC is a genuinely clever and well-designed system. Having tools neatly integrated into your bike is incredibly convenient, and overall the concept is, IMO, still market-leading. That said, it’s not without its flaws, and setup can be a bit of a faff. The main issue I’ve found is with the top cap: it consistently requires more torque than a standard top cap to properly remove headset play. In practice, this makes it easy to slip while tightening, which chews up the alu teeth on the cap. I’ve already had to replace mine several times down the years, which is frustrating. And I know I’m not alone. . . Suggestion to OneUp: Consider offering replacement top caps separately at a low cost (around $10). It would make a big difference for users experiencing wear and tear – and would turn a very good product into a GREAT one."
"Barely fits for some reason, preload is pretty finicky. Also, 40$ for three pieces I’ll use? Just seems pricey."
"I used this to allow easy routing of the front brake through the headset. Very easy to install and works perfectly!"
"After fitting 2 bikes with the threadless EDC holder I had a fork that would not fit one. I had been dubious on threading the steerer tube previously, but figured it was worth a shot. Stupid easy, more storage space. This is the route I will go from now on."
"easy to install with the tap, I have done my fox 40 and fox 38 forks now, bit of sanding for the fox 38 to get the tool to fit, 2015 fox 40 only fits small storage on the bottom(tapers down too much for the large storage) super happy with all Oneup component prodaucts"
"When I purchased this, it wasn't clear that I needed to tap the shock tube. I haven't gotten around to installing it because I need to find a shop that will tap it and this is additional effort. I would buy and tap myself if I new the tap thread size."
